  1. Secondhand Smoke Research Update Andrew Hyland and Mark Travers Roswell Park Cancer Institute March 2008, Annual TTURC meeting

  2. Conceptual Framework for the Evaluation of Smokefree Policies SHS: secondhand smoke SES: socio-economic status Source: IARC Handbook. Measuring Effectiveness of Population Based Tobacco Control Interventions. In press.

  3. Types of Data Collection • Surveys • Air quality assessments • Other – economic and health impact studies • TTURC DRP Program on SHS

  4. Where are We Collecting Data? • ITC countries (surveys) • 4 country, ITC Scotland/Ireland/England, France, SEA, China, Mexico/Uruguay • 32+ countries (air quality assessment) • All world regions • Latin America and Caribbean (Sebrie) • Requests for collaboration come in weekly • New York, Argentina, Latin America (health and economic impact studies)

  5. TTURC DRP Program • India – PM2.5 and owner survey used for public education • China – owner and patron surveys, PM2.5 assessment, public education pilot in Liuzhou – some work presented at SRNT • Thailand – PM2.5 assessments for public education • Nepal – PM2.5 assessments for public education • Georgia - PM2.5 assessments for public education • Egypt – PM2.5 of hookah and cigarette smoke • Ukraine – PM2.5 assessments for public education • China work is most mature with 2 papers done and more on the way

  6. Papers / Reports • NTR supplement with SHS theme – 6 papers submitted Feb 1, ~6 more to be submitted • Smokefree homes and quitting • Air quality assessments in homes • …and pubs/restaurants • Uruguay / Mexico comparisons • Methods piece on validity of proxy reports of exposure • The Big Smoke • NNK boost after visit to smoky pubs in Laramie • Each country we collaborate with on PM2.5 study gets a report

  7. Spin Off Grants • Patchwork funding for evals in Ireland and Scotland • 2 current FAMRI grants (Mark Travers and Hyland) • 3 FAMRI grants in review (Maansi Travers, Sebrie, Hyland) • R01 to be resubmitted – media advocacy and SHS policy in China • R18, status uncertain – media advocacy and SHS policy in US • R21, to be resubmitted – multi-unit housing smokefree program evaluation • Canadian tobacco training program, Ryan Kennedy – SHS in outdoor settings • SAPRP in review – changes in smoking and drinking after smokefree policies

  8. Dissemination • www.tobaccofreeair.org • Capacity building - trained ~250 partners how to perform PM2.5 assessments • Resource for information on SHS • Resources from TFK to institutionalize this work? • International advice/consultation on SHS issues • Collaborators on SHS handbooks/monographs/reports for NCI, IARC, Legacy, RWJF, and CDC

  9. What’s Next • Contributing to the SHS science-base globally • Ideally research in each global region • Follow the IARC model to guide research questions • Work ongoing in China, Argentina, and Latin America • I think we know enough…now just need to help disseminate faster, faster, faster
