What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of a smoke-free home intervention aimed at reducing secondhand smoke exposure in rural tribal communities. Participants are randomized into two groups: one receives educational materials and coaching on maintaining a smoke-free home, while the other group receives usual care. The study aims to assess changes in smoking behavior and health outcomes over a follow-up period of 3 to 6 months. This innovative approach targets the intersection of rural and racial/ethnic inequities to improve health in Indigenous populations.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this intervention could significantly reduce secondhand smoke exposure and improve health outcomes for families in tribal communities.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success with smoke-free home interventions, indicating potential for positive outcomes in similar populations.
