Approved
consistent with CDC's primary goal for the quasi-experimental
component - to detect changes in SHS exposure and occupants’
knowledge and behavior. The survey is not designed (or powered) to
detect changes in respiratory health outcomes associated with SHS
policies or changes in exposure. The health information collected
will only be used as covariates in analyses alongside other
demographic characteristics such as age, sex, and race.

measures of air quality and tobacco exposure, and focus groups with
residents in three states with different policies.
