Text messaging

Participants report on the smoking that takes place in their presence for a period of 7 days by responding to daily texted messages sent by the research team to their mobile phones. Parents will also be asked to report on the child's SHSe during the same 7-day period so that child and parent reports can be compared.

OTHER

Questionnaire

Child and parent questionnaire data about attitudes, behavioral practices to control SHSe, and other socio-environmental factors will be obtained.

OTHER

Interviews

Individual interviews with youngsters will provide additional qualitative information about the social context and conditions in the child's environment that maintain or contribute to avoidance of exposure.
