Association between objective measures and parent-reported measures of child tobacco smoke exposure: A secondary data analysis of four trials.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) harms children and adults. Studies of childhood TSE exposure often relies on parental reports, but may benefit from objective measures. The objective of our study was to study the relationship between reported and objective measures of TSE.

Methods

We analyzed data from four intervention trials, conducted in clinical or community settings, to identify objective measures most closely associated with parent-reported measures and the optimal set of parent-reported measures for predicting objective measures. We also assessed whether there was a learning curve in reported exposure over time, and the importance of replicate biomarker measures.

Results

Correlations between objective and parent-reported measures of child TSE were mode
