Children with asthma who are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke are at increased risk for adverse health consequences. An experimental design was used to evaluate a minimal-contact intervention aimed at modifying parents' smoking behavior in their homes. All subjects received counseling on the health effects of passive smoking and advice to quit smoking inside the home. Treatment subjects were also mailed the results of a urine cotinine test on their child and a self-help manual. More treatment (35%) than control (17%) subjects reported smoking outside their homes at posttest (and their children's cotinine levels were lower), but this difference was not statistically significant.
暴露于环境烟草烟雾中的哮喘儿童出现不良健康后果的风险会增加。采用实验设计来评估一种旨在改变父母在家中吸烟行为的最低接触干预措施。所有受试者都接受了关于被动吸烟对健康影响的咨询以及在家中戒烟的建议。治疗组受试者还收到了其孩子尿液可替宁检测结果和一本自助手册。在测试后，报告在家外吸烟的治疗组受试者（35%）多于对照组受试者（17%）（且其孩子的可替宁水平较低），但这种差异无统计学意义。
