Abbreviation: —, not applicable; FRESH, Freedom from Radon Exposure and Smoking in the Home intervention.
FRESH was a randomized controlled trial to promote stage of action to reduce radon and air nicotine levels in the home.
Although the full sample size was 515, 16 participants missing 1 or more variables in the models could not be included in the multivariable analysis.
This model was restricted to those with smokers in the home (n = 256; 9 were omitted because of missing 1 or more variable values in the model).
P values calculated by type 3 tests of fixed effects in the mixed models.
Regressions modeling stage of action to test for secondhand smoke and adopt a smoke-free home ranging from 1 (unaware) to 5 (maintenance over time). Main effects not interpretable in either model given the presence of a significant interaction effect.
