[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS cLPR0xb2. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : This study explored correlates with and changes in the prevalence of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure of children in the home. Methods : We used multiple logistic regression to explore ETS exposures as reported in the 1992 and 2000 National Health Interview Survey. Results : ETS exposure in homes with children declined from 35.6% to 25.1% (P<. 001) between 1992 and 2000, whereas smoking prevalence declined 26.5% to 23.3%. Home ETS exposures were more prevalent among non-Hispanic Whites than among African Americans (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]=0.702 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=0.614,0.802), Asian Americans (AOR=0.534 ; 95% CI=0.378,0.754), and Hispanics (AOR=0.388 ; 95% CI=0.294,0.389). Exposures declined across all groups, with greater gains in higher education and income groups. Conclusions : Home ETS exposure declined sharply between 1992 and 2000, more than would be predicted by the decline in adult smoking prevalence.
