Thank you for participating in the Healthy Start program. The purpose of these forms is to examine how well the Healthy Start program is meeting its goals of helping families improve their health and the health of their babies. This questionnaire should take about 25 minutes to complete. Any information you provide will be kept confidential. You do not have to answer any questions you do not want to, and you can end the interview at any time without any penalty or loss of benefits.

THE CHILD: Setting the Stage

We will complete a separate form for each of your babies/children. Since you have more than one child who is less than 18 months enrolled in Healthy Start, we ask you to focus only on one child at a time. We will then complete a separate questionnaire for each of your babies under 18 months old.

E-cigarettes (electronic cigarettes) and other electronic nicotine vaping products (such as vape pens, e-hookahs, hookah pens, e-cigars, e-pipes) are battery-powered devices that use nicotine liquid rather than tobacco leaves, and produce vapor instead of smoke.

A hookah is a water pipe used to smoke tobacco. It is not the same as an e-hookah or hookah pen.
