Cigarette smoke-free home adoption attempts among formerly homeless adults living in permanent supportive housing
Cigarette smoke-free home adoption attempts among formerly homeless adults living in permanent supportive housing found high rates of poly-tobacco use, substance use and mental health co-morbidities and that positive attitudes toward smoke-free policies are linked with smoke-free home adoption attempts and that serious mental illness is a barrier to smoke-free home adoption. The study underscores the need for interventions that address indoor tobacco and nicotine use tailored to people with serious mental illness.
A total of 544 residents across 48 sites participated in this study, making it one of the most comprehensive evaluations to date.
