Abstract:
The sugarcane harvest migrant workers are an underprivileged group and have a high risk of exposure to secondhand smoke but are potentially neglected in health promotion interventions. This three-phase study applied a mixed-method research approach. The data were collected from February to December 20XX. Workers aged 40 years had 1.9 times higher exposure to secondhand smoke than workers aged 41 years (OR=1.93; 95% CI: 1.24–3.01). Those who worked overtime had 1.7 times higher exposure to secondhand smoke than those who did not work overtime (OR=1.71; 95% CI: 1.10–2.66). Social measures to prevent secondhand smoke were: given a warning, no rewards for cigarettes, designated smoking area, not asking the children to buy cigarettes, stop displaying cigarettes at grocery shops, and empowering woman to go against the smoking husband in the camp and the sugarcane field when the women, children, and nonsmokers are present. Appropriate social measures for health protection can help to reduce exposure to secondhand smoke.
