How do policy advisors and practitioners prioritise the protection of children from secondhand smoke exposure in a country with advanced tobacco control policy: Table 1
In a country, such as Scotland, with advanced tobacco control strategies, there continue to be challenges to policy and practice development in the more contentious arena of the home. Children's SHSE in their homes is unequivocally accepted as an important health priority, but it is not currently perceived to be a top public health priority in Scotland
Refresh—reducing families' exposure to secondhand smoke in the home: A feasibility study
Providing mothers who smoke with personalised results about the indoor air quality of their homes along with a motivational interview is feasible and has an effect on improving household air quality. Participants found the intervention understandable and acceptable. Taken overall, the results suggest that a future large-scale trial using measurements of indoor air quality as part of a complex intervention to reduce children's SHS exposure should …
The re-shaping of the life-world: Male British Bangladeshi smokers and the English smoke-free legislation
For maximum impact, tobacco control interventions aimed at whole populations may need to be supplemented by culturally sensitive measures in local areas where there is a high concentration of Bangladeshi people. Similar considerations may apply to other minority communities with a high prevalence of smoking
Volunteered, negotiated, enforced: Family Politics and the Regulation of Home Smoking
The protection of children from secondhand smoke in their homes remains a key objective for health agencies worldwide. While research has explored how parents can influence the introduction of home smoking restrictions, less attention has been paid to the role of wider familial and social networks as conduits for positive behaviour changes. In this article we explore how people living in Scotland have introduced various home smoking restrictions …
Waiting until they got home: Gender, smoking and tobacco exposure in households in Scotland
The social context of change in tobacco consumption following the introduction of 'smokefree' England legislation: A qualitative, longitudinal study
Action to achieve smoke-free homes- an exploration of experts' views
The expert panels were very aware of the sensitivities around the boundary between the 'private' home and public health interventions; but also the lack of evidence on the relative effectiveness of specific individual and community approaches on increasing restrictions on smoking in the home. Future action on smoke-free homes needs to consider and address these complexities. In particular health professionals and other key stakeholders need appro…
Public places after smoke-free—A qualitative exploration of the changes in smoking behaviour
People pull the rug from under your feet: Barriers to successful public health programmes
Community-based programmes which rely strongly on partnership processes would benefit from early consideration of the potential risks associated with both expected and unexpected stakeholder change. Building in appropriate contingency plans is necessary for sustaining the theory and culture of the programme. Evaluations of innovative community development initiatives may benefit from a formative approach
Covert observation in practice: Lessons from the evaluation of the prohibition of smoking in public places in Scotland
Collecting covert observational data poses unique practical challenges, in particular in relation to the health and safety of the researcher. The findings and solutions presented in this paper will be of value to researchers designing similar studies
Issues of participation, ownership and empowerment in a community development programme: Tackling smoking in a low-income area in Scotland
Founded on community development principles and practice, the 'Breathing Space' initiative aimed to produce a significant shift in community norms towards non-toleration and non-practice of smoking in a low-income area in Edinburgh, Scotland. The effectiveness of Breathing Space was evaluated using a quasi-experimental design, which incorporated a process evaluation in order to provide a description of the development and implementation of the in…
