Methods | Country: Turkey Setting: community (home and telephone) Type: RCT |
|
Participants | 80 mothers of children aged 1 to 5 years who smoked and/or whose spouses smoked | |
Interventions |
Intensive intervention: consisting of 3 home visits, 2 telephone follow‐ups, and urine cotinine notification. Initial home visit provided brochures for whole family to read. Five behavioural change techniques were used: (1) providing information, (2) engaging in goal‐setting behaviour (not smoking in the home) and outcome (to reduce children's ETS exposure), (3) using follow‐up prompts, (4) educating to use prompts (i.e. "no smoking" warning signs in the home), and (5) providing environmental restructuring (i.e. removing ashtrays in the house). Control: minimal intervention comprising 2 home visits and urine cotinine notification |
|
Outcomes | Child exposure: urine cotinine; home smoking ban; number of cigarettes smoked in home Target behavioural change: home smoking ban |

Type of intervention | Community‐based | |

Risk of bias | ||
Bias | Authors' judgement | Support for judgement |
Random sequence generation (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Stratified using SAS statistical programme. However, 12 mothers were substituted with other mothers due not wishing to participate, inability to collect child urine, or not meeting the participation criteria. Unclear if this was before or after randomisation |
Allocation concealment (selection bias) | Unclear risk | Not specified |
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) All outcomes | Low risk | 97.5% follow up |
Blinding of outcome assessment (detection bias) All outcomes | Low risk | Objective cotinine measure (blinding not specified) |
