Tenants in multiunit housing are at elevated risk for exposure to secondhand smoke at home because of smoke migration from other units.
In 2004, tobacco control advocates in the Portland, Oregon, metropolitan area began to address this issue by launching a campaign to work with landlord and tenant advocates, private- and public-sector property managers, and other housing stakeholders to encourage smoke-free policies in multiunit housing.
We outline the 6-year campaign that moved local housing providers toward adopting no-smoking policies. We used the stages of change model, which matches potential messages or interventions to a smoker's readiness to quit smoking.
The campaign resulted in Oregon's largest private property management company and its largest public housing authority adopting no-smoking policies for their properties and a 29% increase in the availability of smoke-free rental units in the Portland-Vancouver metro area from 2006 through 2009.
We learned the importance of building partnerships with public and private stakeholders, collecting local data to shape educational messages, and emphasizing to landlords the business case, not the public health rationale, for smoke-free housing.
由于烟雾从其他单元迁移，多单元住宅的租户在家中接触二手烟的风险增加。
2004 年，俄勒冈州波特兰大都市区的烟草控制倡导者开始着手解决这个问题，发起了一场运动，与房东和租户倡导者、私营和公共部门物业经理以及其他住房利益相关者合作，鼓励多单元住房实行禁烟政策。
我们概述了这项为期 6 年的运动，推动当地住房提供者采取禁烟政策。我们使用了改变阶段模型，根据吸烟者戒烟的准备情况，为他们匹配潜在的信息或干预措施。
该运动促使俄勒冈州最大的私营物业管理公司及其最大的公共住房管理局为其物业制定了禁烟政策，并在 2006 年至 2009 年期间，波特兰-温哥华大都市区可供出租的无烟单位增加了 29%。
我们了解到与公共和私营利益相关者建立伙伴关系、收集本地数据以形成教育信息以及向房东强调无烟住房的商业案例而不是公共卫生理由的重要性。
