A harm reduction model for environmental tobacco smoke exposure among Bangladeshi rural household children: A modified Delphi technique approach.

ABSTRACT: This paper aimed to develop a harm reduction model to reduce exposure to environmental tobacco smoke among children of rural households in Bangladesh. A mixed-methods exploratory sequential design has been applied, and data has been collated from six randomly selected villages of Munshigonj district, Bangladesh. The research was divided into three phases. In the first phase, the problem was identified through key informant interviews and a cross-sectional study. In the second phase, the model was developed by focus group discussion, and in the third phase, the model was evaluated through the modified Delphi technique. The data was analyzed by thematic analysis and multivariate logistic regression in phase one, qualitative content analysis for phase two, and descriptive statistics in phase
