Approved consistent with CDC's primary goal for the quasi-experimental component - to detect changes in SHS exposure and occupants’ knowledge and behavior. The survey is not designed (or powered) to detect changes in respiratory health outcomes associated with SHS policies or changes in exposure. The health information collected will only be used as covariates in analyses alongside other demographic characteristics such as age, sex, and race.
