What this trial studies

This study aims to implement smoke-free policies in subsidized housing to reduce tobacco use and related health disparities. It involves a wait-list cluster randomized controlled trial where residents from 24 subsidized housing sites in Northern California will participate in an intervention designed to promote smoke-free homes and access to smoking cessation services. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of this intervention on residents' adoption of smoke-free homes and biochemically-verified tobacco abstinence after six months, as well as its cost-effectiveness and stakeholder perspectives on its scalability.
