We sought to describe the prevalence of secondhand tobacco smoke incursions reported by multiunit housing (MUH) residents, pinpoint factors associated with exposure, and determine whether smoke-free building policy was associated with prevalence of reported tobacco smoke incursions.
Data are from a 2011 nationally representative dual-frame survey (random-digit-dial and Internet panels) of US adults aged 18 years and older. Individuals who lived in MUH and who reported no smoking in their homes for the past 3 months, whether or not they reported being smokers themselves, were included in this study. Incursions were defined as smelling tobacco smoke in their building or unit.
Of 562 respondents, 29.5% reported smoke incursions in their buildings. Of these, 16% reported incursions in their own unit, 36.2% of which occurred at least weekly. Government-subsidized housing and partial smoke-free policies were associated with a higher likelihood of reporting smoke incursions.
Many residents of multiunit housing are exposed to tobacco smoke in their units and buildings. Partial smoke-free policies do not appear to protect residents and might increase the likelihood of incursions in residents' individual units.
本研究旨在描述多单元住房（MUH）居民报告的二手烟入侵的流行情况，确定与暴露相关的因素，并确定无烟建筑政策是否与报告的烟草烟雾入侵的流行情况相关。
数据来自于 2011 年一项针对美国 18 岁及以上成年人的全国代表性双框架调查（随机数字拨号和互联网小组）。本研究纳入了居住在 MUH 中、过去 3 个月内家中无人吸烟、无论自身是否为吸烟者的个体。烟雾入侵定义为在其建筑物或单元中闻到烟草烟雾。
在 562 名受访者中，29.5%报告在其建筑物中存在烟雾入侵。其中，16%报告在其自己的单元中存在入侵，其中 36.2%至少每周发生一次。政府补贴住房和部分无烟政策与报告烟雾入侵的可能性更高相关。
许多多单元住房的居民在其单元和建筑物中暴露于烟草烟雾中。部分无烟政策似乎并未保护居民，反而可能增加居民个人单元中入侵的可能性。
