Home environment and cigarette quitting behaviors among rural Black/African American women caregivers.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This cross-sectional study described the home tobacco environment and its association with quitting behaviors among Black/African American women caregivers who smoke cigarettes and live in rural, low-resourced areas.

Method

A baseline survey was administered to caregivers enrolled in a randomized trial from 2020 to 2022 (n = 147). Logistic regressions identified the associations between the independent variables (home cigarette smoking bans, caregiver restrictions on child cigarette access, number of people in the home who smoked around the caregiver during the past week, and who smoked in the caregiver's home) and three outcome variables: lifetime quit attempt, past-year quit attempt and use of evidence-based cessation strategies during a last quit attempt.
