Adjusted odds ratios for ETS exposure by relevant participant characteristics [OR (95% CI)].

Overall ETS Social ETS Home ETS Work ETS a
Later time period 0.62 (0.53, 0.73)* 0.69 (0.61, 0.78)* 0.65 (0.51, 0.83)* 1.15 (0.77, 1.72)
Age (per 5 years) 0.87 (0.81, 0.94)* 0.24 (0.18, 0.31)* 0.62 (0.34, 1.13) 0.23 (0.07, 0.77)*

College (vs. < h.s.) 0.25 (0.16, 0.37)* 0.57 (0.42, 0.77)* 0.40 (0.19, 0.87)* 0.20 (0.09, 0.45)*
Some college (vs. < h.s.) 0.65 (0.46, 0.92)* 0.85 (0.63, 1.15) 1.32 (0.71, 2.44) 0.46 (0.21, 0.98)*
High school (vs. < h.s.) 0.53 (0.40, 0.71)* 0.95 (0.74, 1.22) 0.78 (0.44, 1.37) 0.52 (0.26, 1.05)
Currently working 1.44 (1.14, 1.83)* --- --- ---
Lives with others (per each) 1.12 (0.99, 1.26) --- 1.53 (1.08, 2.18)* ---

h.s. = high school; ETS = environmental tobacco smoke; GEE = generalized estimating equations; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval (a) Analysis for work ETS was restricted to those working part- or full-time at both time points (n=350).
