Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Providing parent/caregivers of children with cancer with education and evidence of secondhand smoke exposure can protect the child from future exposure to tobacco smoke.

PURPOSE: This randomized study will compare education only to education plus cotinine feedback in decreasing secondhand smoke exposure in pediatric patients with cancer that reside with a household smoker.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

The primary objective of this study is to determine if providing urine cotinine feedback to caregivers in conjunction with standard education will be more effective than education alone in reducing patient SHS exposure.

The secondary objectives of this study are:

To determine whether urine cotinine feedback in conjunction with education provided to the caregiver is more effective in changing parental smoking behavior compared to education alone.

As an exploratory measure we will collect history and physical exam data to follow patient's clinical complications during the study to determine if patients with a decrease in SHS exposure also have a decrease in clinical complications.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Active Intervention

Those randomized to the active intervention will receive education about secondhand smoke exposure and feedback using the cotinine test strip.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in both groups will receive education by the EPA on the danger of exposure to secondhand smoke and how exposure can be prevented.

Cotinine Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Those randomized to the active intervention will also be provided with education utilizing the cotinine test strip in conjunction with the education from the EPA.

Education only

Those randomized to the education only group will receive only the education about secondhand smoke exposure.

Group Type OTHER

Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in both groups will receive education by the EPA on the danger of exposure to secondhand smoke and how exposure can be prevented.

* Able and willing to sign informed consent/assent.
* Signed HIPAA compliant research authorization.

Exclusion Criteria

* Planned hospitalization within 3 days of any scheduled study visit (due to the urine cotinine measurement representing the previous 48-72 hours of tobacco exposure.
