Evaluating the effectiveness of Smoke-Free Home SafeCare, an integrated intervention, among families at risk for secondhand smoke exposure and child maltreatment in the United States: a study protocol for a hybrid type 1 trial

Secondhand smoke exposure (SHS) and child maltreatment (CM) are preventable yet have negative lifelong impacts on health. When considered together, the risk for negative health outcomes may be compounded, especially for people living in low-resource settings. Evidence-based interventions exist for preventing CM and reducing SHS among families with low resources; however, no programs jointly target SHS exposure and maltreatment risk.
