The study purpose was to describe multiunit landlord attitudes and behaviors toward smoke-free policies.
This was a descriptive, cross-sectional survey of multiunit landlords in Douglas County (N=392).
A 25-item survey was developed and pilot tested. It was administered by telephone (n=143) and mail (n=249) to multiunit landlords.
Combined response rate was 30.1% (81/143 telephone, 37/249 mail) representing 24,080 units on 974 properties with 34,399 tenants. Most respondents (73.7%) allowed smoking. Reasons for not implementing smoke-free policies were potential enforcement problems (57.0%), tenant objections (43.0%), loss of market share (39.5%). Respondents without smoke-free policies expected vacancy (53.6%) and turnover (50.0%) rates to increase, which was significantly different (p <.0001) than respondents with smoke-free policies where only 10.7% reported increased vacancy and only 3.7% reported increased turnover.
Expected adverse impacts of smoke-free policies do not reflect real experiences of smoke-free policy implementation. Public health advocates can use these study findings to develop community-based education and social marketing messages directed at voluntary smoke-free policy changes. Respondents without smoke-free policies expressed interest at the end of the survey in learning how to implement smoke-free policies indicating a readiness for change.
本研究旨在描述多户业主对无烟政策的态度和行为。
这是一项对道格拉斯县（N=392）多户业主的描述性、横断面调查。
编制了一份 25 项的调查问卷，并进行了试点测试。通过电话（n=143）和邮件（n=249）向多户业主进行了问卷调查。
总的应答率为 30.1%（电话应答 81/143，邮件应答 37/249），代表了 974 处房产中的 24080 个单元，有 34399 位租户。大多数受访者（73.7%）允许吸烟。不实施无烟政策的原因是潜在的执法问题（57.0%）、租户反对（43.0%）、市场份额损失（39.5%）。没有无烟政策的受访者预计入住率（53.6%）和周转率（50.0%）会增加，这与实施无烟政策的受访者有显著差异（p<.0001），后者仅有 10.7%的受访者报告入住率增加，仅有 3.7%的受访者报告周转率增加。
对无烟政策的预期不利影响并不能反映无烟政策实施的真实情况。公共卫生倡导者可以利用这些研究结果，为自愿实施无烟政策的变化制定基于社区的教育和社会营销信息。没有无烟政策的受访者在调查结束时表示有兴趣了解如何实施无烟政策，这表明他们愿意做出改变。
