Best questions for screening secondhand smoke exposure among children

Ksinan AJ, et al. Identifying the best questions for rapid screening of secondhand smoke exposure among children. Nicotine & Tobacco Research. 29 November 2020. ntaa254, https://doi.org/10.1093/ntr/ntaa254

“Our data-driven approach identified and validated two survey items asked parents that may be useful as a screening tool for a speedy and accurate assessment of secondhand smoke exposure among children.”

Note: Assessing secondhand exposure levels among children without air monitoring has proven difficult. Questions identified in this study provide a useful means of screening during pediatric care. Stephen Hamann : https://academic.oup.com/ntr/advance-article/doi/10.1093/ntr/ntaa254/6010482
