Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability, feasibility, and effectiveness of smoke-free housing policy implementation in Permanent Supportive Housing communities. The main objective of this study is to identify and refine adaptations for a smoke-free housing implementation framework that incorporates behavioral health support and meets the needs of residents living in Permanent Supportive Housing.

Detailed description

The study aims are: Aim 1): Identify adaptations for a smokefree housing implementation framework and identify opportunities to integrate these adaptations with ongoing behavioral health support, to meet the needs of residents living in Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) (Phase 1). Aim 2): The research team will pilot test the adapted implementation framework, including an implementation toolkit, to assess the acceptability, feasibility and effectiveness of the primary intervention provided to Property Managers (Phase 2). Aim 3): Based on a synthesis of qualitative and quantitative evidence, the research team will further refine the smokefree implementation framework and toolkit, comprising modified versions of the "Implementation Guide", "Action Plan" and "Implementation Checklist", to support future needs of Permanent Supportive Housing communities (Phase 3). The research team seeks to use the opportunity provided by smokefree housing implementation to minimize indoor smoking and encourage smoking cessation, and thus help move communities with a history of profound health disparities towards a more equitable, tobacco-free future. The impact of this project will be evident not only among smokers, but also non-smokers, children and the elderly who share residential communities with people supported by PSH programs. If successful, the results of this work will be used to promote broader and more effective use of the smokefree PSH implementation framework in federally-assisted public and affordable housing communities nationally.
