Studies are needed to understand the association between self-reported home smoking bans and objective measures of in-home smoking according to smokers' ethnicity/nativity. Data came from a trial that used air particle monitors to reduce children's secondhand smoke exposure in smokers' households (N = 251). Linear regressions modeled (a) full home smoking bans by ethnicity/nativity, and (b) objectively measured in-home smoking events, predicted by main and interaction effects of self-reported home smoking bans and ethnicity/nativity. Among smokers reporting < a full ban, US-born and Foreign-born Latinos had fewer in-home smoking events than US-born Whites (p < 0.001). Participants who reported a full smoking ban had a similar frequency of smoking events regardless of ethnicity/nativity. Results indicate that self-reported home smoking bans can be used as a proxy for in-home smoking. Establishing smoking bans in the households of US-born White smokers has the largest impact on potential exposure compared to other ethnicity/nativity groups.
需要进行研究，以了解根据吸烟者的种族/原籍国，自我报告的家庭吸烟禁令与家庭内吸烟的客观测量之间的关联。数据来自一项使用空气颗粒监测器减少吸烟者家庭中儿童二手烟暴露的试验（N=251）。线性回归模型分析了：（a）按种族/原籍国划分的完全家庭吸烟禁令，以及（b）由自我报告的家庭吸烟禁令和种族/原籍国的主效应和交互效应预测的家庭内吸烟事件。在报告<完全禁令的吸烟者中，美国出生的拉丁裔和外国出生的拉丁裔比美国出生的白人家庭内吸烟事件更少（p<0.001）。报告完全吸烟禁令的参与者无论种族/原籍国如何，吸烟事件的频率相似。结果表明，自我报告的家庭吸烟禁令可以作为家庭内吸烟的替代指标。与其他种族/原籍国群体相比，在美出生的白人吸烟者家庭中建立吸烟禁令对潜在暴露的影响最大。
