Parents of Asthmatics Quit Smoking

This study is looking for participants who are a regular smoker and a parent or caregiver.
As part of participation they are entitled to receive free, in-home health care for their
child delivered by a nurse. If their child has asthma, this treatment will be focused on
helping their child breathe better. If their child does not have asthma, this treatment
will focus on child safety and wellness. The nurse will talk with them a bit about their
smoking, and help them to quit only if they want to. We, the researchers, want to determine
whether or not follow-up counseling calls added on to this home treatment are acceptable to
NHPRI and BCBSRI members. Participants do not have to quit smoking, or want to quit smoking
to be in this study. Once they understand the study, they will be asked if they wish to
participate; if so, they will be asked to sign a consent form.
