AB  - INTRODUCTION: The knowledge and beliefs about what is thirdhand smoke (THS) are 
      limited. Our objective is to characterize the knowledge and beliefs about THS in 
      parents of children under 3 years old in Spain. METHODS: A cross-sectional study 
      (n = 1406 parents) was conducted online in 2017. We collected information about 
      the knowledge of THS given later, written information with the definition of THS, 
      and asking about beliefs of the effects of THS on children's health. RESULTS: A 
      total of 27% of the respondents had heard about THS. We only found significant 
      differences among smoking status, being the smokers who declare higher knowledge 
      about THS. A total of 86% of the respondents believed that THS is harmful to 
      their children with statistically significant differences according to 
      educational level, higher among parents with a university degree (ORa = 2.6), and 
      according to the previous knowledge on THS (ORa = 2.1). CONCLUSIONS: This is the 
      first study in Europe to describe the knowledge and belief of THS. Around 3 out 
      of 10 parents have heard about THS and more than 8 out of 10 parents believed 
      that THS is harmful to their children. Currently, they were not aware of THS but 
      after providing brief information about it, most of them agreed that THS exposure 
      is harmful to their children.
