Exposure hours to SHS daily Parental-reported exposure GM cotinine (n)~

None 1 to 3 hours > 3 hours
Self-reported exposure

Chi-square test: 41.088 df: 4, p < 0.0001

+ Percentages in bracket relate to the total of the self-reported exposure row.

++ ANOVA test was performed with LSD post-hoc test and significant differences were observed between None with 1 to 3 and > 3 hours: F = 8.537, p < 0.0001

~ ANOVA test was performed with LSD post-hoc test and significant differences were found between all three groups: F = 8.613, p < 0.0001
