Table 2.
Adjusted mean physiological measures among children before and after acute parent smoking interventiona
| Physiological measure | N | Intervention group (N = 20) |
Control group (N = 21) |
p value (difference) | ||||
| Time 1 | Time 2 | Difference | Time 1 | Time 2 | Difference | |||
| Heart rate | 36 | 65.4 | 70.7 | 4.2 | 70.7 | 72.7 | 2.6 | 0.62 |
| SBP | 40 | 100.0 | 100.3 | 0.08 | 101.0 | 101.3 | 0.41 | 0.91 |
| DBP | 40 | 66.7 | 67.7 | 0.08 | 70.9 | 72.4 | 2.27 | 0.37 |
| Exhaled carbon monoxide | 37 | 3.9 | 3.7 | −0.12 | 3.0 | 3.1 | 0.16 | 0.77 |
Note. SBP = systolic blood pressure; DBP = diastolic blood pressure.
Adjusted for child age, gender, and body mass index percentile. The difference scores are also adjusted for Time 1 values. The p value compares the adjusted mean differences between the Intervention and Control groups.
