Abstract

Exposure to second-hand smoke (SHS) is associated with various ill-health outcomes for children and adults. Barriers to creating a smoke-free home (SFH) are well-documented. Feasible and effective interventions to create smoke-free homes for disadvantaged households are lacking. Interventions that include providing parents with objective information about the impact of smoking on air quality in their home may be particularly effective. This study describes the development of a novel, theory- and evidence-based smoke-free homes intervention using objectively-assessed air quality feedback. The intervention was developed using the six-step Intervention Mapping (IM) protocol. Findings from literature reviews, focus groups with parents, interviews with health/care professionals, and expert panel discussions shaped intervention content and materials. Findings highlighted the importance of parents receiving personalised information on second-hand smoke levels in their home. Professionals considered the use of non-judgemental language essential in developed materials. Previous literature highlighted the need to address home smoking behaviour at a household rather than individual level. The AFRESH intervention is modular and designed to be delivered face-to-face by healthcare professionals. It includes up to five meetings with parents, two sets of five days' air quality monitoring and personalised feedback, and the option to involve other household members in creating a smoke-free home using educational, motivational, and goal setting techniques. Further research is needed to evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of the AFRESH intervention and which specific groups of parents this intervention will most likely benefit. IM was a useful framework for developing this complex intervention. This paper does not present evaluation findings.

  • There are only a limited number of comparable academic articles using IM in clinical psychology, although IM use is prevalent in health and prevention research.

    “Although the use and reporting of IM approaches is prevalent in health and prevention research (34–39), there are only a limited number of comparable academic articles published in the field of (clinical) psychology (40, 41).”

  • Beside Metacognitive Training (MCT), two more mechanism-based therapies for psychosis focusing explicitly on impaired metacognitive processes linked to positive symptoms were identified: Metacognitive insight and reflection therapy (MERIT) and Metacognitive interpersonal therapy for psychosis (MIT-P).

    “Beside Metacognitive Training (MCT), we identified two more mechanism-based therapies for psychosis focusing explicitly on impaired metacognitive processes linked to our first health problem (positive symptoms) (36): Metacognitive insight and reflection therapy (MERIT) and Metacognitive interpersonal therapy for psychosis (MIT-P).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
