AB  - (1) Objectives: To examine the associations of child tobacco smoke exposure (TSE) 
      with home quality and housing instability. (2) Methods. A secondary analysis of 
      32,066 U.S. 0-11-year-old children from the 2018-2019 National Survey of 
      Children's Health was conducted. Child home TSE status was defined as: no TSE: 
      child lived with no smokers; thirdhand smoke (THS) exposure only: child lived 
      with a smoker(s) who did not smoke indoors; and secondhand smoke (SHS) and THS 
      exposure: child lived with a smoker(s) who smoked indoors. Home quality was 
      assessed by the presence of mold or pesticide use and housing instability was 
      assessed by home ownership, frequency of moves, and number of household members. 
      We conducted weighted multivariable logistic regression and linear regression 
      models while adjusting for important child covariates. (3) Results: In total, 
      12.3% had home THS exposure only and 1.6% had home SHS and THS exposure. Compared 
      to children with no home TSE, children with home SHS and THS exposure were 2.60 
      times more likely (95%CI = 1.73, 3.92) to have mold inside their homes; 1.57 
      times more likely (95%CI = 1.09, 2.26) to live in homes where pesticides were 
      used >/=1 time during the past 12-months; and more likely to have more frequent 
      moves (beta = 1.06, 95%CI = 0.62, 1.50). (4) Conclusions: Children with home TSE 
      have higher rates of mold, pesticide use, frequent moves, and household members 
      compared to children with no home TSE. Children with TSE should also be screened 
      for home quality and housing instability and provided with appropriate 
      interventions and resources.
