TI  - Thirdhand Smoke Knowledge, Beliefs and Behaviors among Parents and Families: A 
      Systematic Review.

AB  - Families play a primary role in protecting children. Thirdhand smoke (THS) is an 
      underestimated public health issue, and health effects correlated to its 
      exposition are emerging. The aim of this systematic review was to analyze papers 
      focusing on knowledge, beliefs, and behaviors regarding THS among parents, 
      families, and caregivers, published until May 2022 on MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, 
      and the Cochrane Library. Critical appraisal of the included studies was 
      conducted by two independent reviewers using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical 
      Appraisal tool. Out of the 97 articles, 8 were included in this review (two from 
      the USA, one from Europe, and five from Asia). Although there were no 
      restrictions on the date of publication, all the articles were published in the 
      last 10 years, underlining that THS is an emerging concept. They were 
      characterized by relevant heterogeneity in the study design and assessment tools. 
      The results showed that percentages of parents who believed that THS is harmful 
      ranged from 42.4% to 91%, but parental awareness was not always associated with 
      the adoption of a home- and car-smoking ban or healthy behaviors. Further 
      research is needed to understand the resistance and problems faced by parents who 
      are aware of THS risks but unable to improve good practices.
