Intro: Building the Field and Diffusing Information
This project will develop the pediatric workforce, clinical services, and policies essential to protecting the nation's children from secondhand tobacco smoke. . . .
Document, Data, and Dataset Repository, and Analytic Project
This component will provide a core data source and analysis center which will be used to: (1) ask and answer important secondhand smoke-related questions; (2) document negative consequences to children of secondhand smoke exposure; (3) study changes in clinical and public policy efforts to protect children from secondhand smoke exposure; (4) study changes in the social climate regarding children's secondhand smoke exposure; and (5) provide annual information about the progress of our nationwide efforts to protect children from secondhand smoke exposure. . . .
* Social Climate Survey for Tobacco Control (SCS TC)
The Social Climate Survey for Tobacco Control (SCS TC) is a national telephone survey that collects comprehensive data about adults' attitudes and practices regarding tobacco control and children's exposure to secondhand smoke . . .
* National Datasets Research in Children, Tobacco and Secondhand Smoke
One goal of the AAP Julius B. Richmond Center of Excellence is to provide support for analyses of public datasets to study secondhand smoke and tobacco exposure in children. . . .

Dissemination of Best Practices to Reduce Secondhand Tobacco Smoke
The project will begin nationwide dissemination of best practices to reduce secondhand smoke exposure of children, using an intensive state-by-state approach. . . .
2009 Dissemination of Best Practices Smoke Free Homes Conference
Legal and Regulatory Issues Around Children's Exposure to Secondhand Smoke . . .
Rapid Quantitative Assessment of Secondhand Smoke Exposure for Clinical Pediatric Settings
This project will develop or modify a rapid, in-office test for secondhand smoke exposure of children with particular emphasis on children age 0-6 years. . . .
Messages for Motivation and Support for Behavior Change in Parent Smoking
This project will design a communication toolkit to teach pediatricians the most effective methods to influence parent smoking behaviors. . . .
Translational research projects Several projects of the Richmond Center address the effectiveness of translating evidence into practice for tobacco prevention and control.
The Clinical Effort Against Secondhand Smoke Exposure (CEASE) national effectiveness PROS trial addresses parent secondhand smoke exposure using a theoretically-based intervention to improve adherence to evidence-based guidelines at the clinician level, facilitate change at the parent behavior level, and lead to implementation of systems changes at the practice level. Funded by NCI/NIDA and AHRQ.
The Smokebusters pilot adolescent cessation PROS trial addresses adolescent smoking cessation counseling by primary care pediatricians. Funded by NCI.
Development of a PediaLink educational module to provide on-line training to help pediatricians address the secondhand smoke exposure of children and parental smoking. Funded by FAMRI.
