      and Thirdhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure.

AB  - (1) Background: Home tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) and negative neighborhood 
      characteristics adversely affect children's overall health. The objective was to 
      examine the associations of child TSE status and neighborhood characteristics 
      among U.S. school-aged children. (2) Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis 
      of the 2018-2019 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH) data including 
      17,300 U.S. children ages 6-11 years old. We categorized children's home TSE 
      status into: (a) no TSE: child did not live with a smoker; (b) thirdhand smoke 
      (THS) exposure alone: child lived with a smoker who did not smoke inside the 
      home; and (c) secondhand smoke (SHS) and THS exposure: child lived with a smoker 
      who smoked inside the home. We conducted a series of weighted linear and logistic 
      regression analyses to assess the associations between child TSE status and 
      neighborhood characteristics, adjusting for covariates. (3) Results: Overall, 
      13.2% and 1.7% of children were exposed to home THS alone and home SHS and THS, 
      respectively. Compared to children with no TSE, children with home THS exposure 
      alone and children with home SHS and THS exposure had a significantly lower total 
      number of neighborhood amenities and children with SHS and THS exposure had a 
      significantly higher total number of detracting neighborhood elements. (4) 
      Conclusions: Children with TSE demonstrate disparities in the characteristics of 
      the neighborhood in which they live compared to children with no TSE. TSE 
      reduction interventions targeted to children with TSE who live in these 
      neighborhoods are warranted.
