Prevalence and Income-Related Disparities in Thirdhand Smoke Exposure to Children
Georg E. Matt,Ashley L. Merianos,Penelope J.E. Quintana,Eunha Hoh,Nathan G. Dodder,E. Melinda Mahabee-Gittens +5 more
TL;DR: In this article , the prevalence of and income-related disparities associated with exposure to thirdhand smoke among children were examined, and a cross-sectional study was conducted to examine the impact of exposure to smoke on children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tobacco smoke exposure and inadequate sleep among U.S. school-aged children.
TL;DR: In this paper, the association between home TSE status and inadequate sleep among U.S. school-aged children was assessed, and the results showed that children who were exposed to home thirdhand smoke exposure had higher odds of inadequate sleep.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disparities in Neighborhood Characteristics among U.S. Children with Secondhand and Thirdhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure
TL;DR: Examination of the associations of child TSE status and neighborhood characteristics among U.S. school-aged children found disparities in the characteristics of the neighborhood in which they live compared to children with no TSE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Barriers to implementation of pediatric emergency department interventions for parental tobacco use and dependence: a qualitative study using the theoretical domains framework
Ashley L. Merianos,Kayleigh A Fiser,E. Melinda Mahabee-Gittens,Michael S. Lyons,Judith S. Gordon +4 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the theoretical domains framework (TDF) to identify current screening and counseling behaviors of PED/UC professionals related to parental tobacco use and child TSE, and determine barriers and enablers that influence these behaviors.

Distinguishing Exposure to Secondhand and Thirdhand Tobacco Smoke among U.S. Children Using Machine Learning: NHANES 2013-2016.
Ashley L. Merianos,E. Melinda Mahabee-Gittens,Timothy M Stone,Roman Jandarov,Lanqing Wang,Deepak Bhandari,Benjamin C. Blount,Georg E. Matt +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used machine learning algorithms to assess which combinations of biomarkers and reported tobacco smoke exposure measures best differentiate children into three groups: no/minimal tobacco exposure (NEG), predominant thirdhand smoke exposure (TEG), and mixed secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure (MEG).

2000 CDC Growth Charts for the United States: methods and development.
Robert J. Kuczmarski,Cynthia L. Ogden,Shumei S. Guo,Laurence M. Grummer-Strawn,Katherine M. Flegal,Zuguo Mei,Rong Wei,Lester R. Curtin,Alex F. Roche,Clifford L. Johnson +9 more
TL;DR: The 2000 CDC growth charts were developed with improved data and statistical procedures and now have an instrument for growth screening that better represents the racial-ethnic diversity and combination of breast- and formula-feeding in the United States.
The Health consequences of smoking—50 years of progress : a report of the Surgeon General
TL;DR: The scientific evidence is incontrovertible: inhaling tobacco smoke, particularly from cigarettes, is deadly.
Book ChapterDOI
Nicotine Chemistry, Metabolism, Kinetics and Biomarkers
TL;DR: The current optimal plasma cotinine cut-point to distinguish smokers from non-smokers in the general US population is 3 ng ml(-1), which is much lower than that established 20 years ago, reflecting less secondhand smoke exposure due to clear air policies and more light or occasional smoking.

Schick,Jonathan M. Samet,Yinsheng Wang,Bo Hang,Manuela Martins-Green,James F. Pankow,Melbourne F. Hovell +17 more
TL;DR: The existing evidence on thirdhand smoke (THS) provides strong support for pursuing a programmatic research agenda to close gaps in current understanding of the chemistry, exposure, toxicology, and health effects of THS, as well as its behavioral, economic, and sociocultural considerations and consequences.

Tobacco Smoke Induces and Alters Immune Responses in the Lung Triggering Inflammation, Allergy, Asthma and Other Lung Diseases: A Mechanistic Review
TL;DR: It is demonstrated how the imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants resulting from exposure to tobacco smoke leads to oxidative stress, increased mucosal inflammation, and increased expression of inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin (IL)-8, IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor α ([TNF]-α).
