What this trial studies
This intervention aims to reduce secondhand smoke exposure in Armenia and Georgia, where smoking rates are notably high among men. The study will adapt an evidence-based smoke-free home intervention to local contexts and develop the capacity to deliver this intervention through community partners and national quitlines. It will be tested in a hybrid effectiveness-implementation randomized clinical trial, focusing on promoting smoke-free homes to protect children and non-smokers from tobacco smoke. The initiative builds on collaborations with local public health organizations and aims to address health disparities related to tobacco use.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly reduce secondhand smoke exposure and improve health outcomes for families in Armenia and Georgia.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been successful interventions in other low- and middle-income countries, this specific approach tailored for Armenia and Georgia is relatively novel.
