Short name: | AHPF PI 1.2.2–Children exposed to tobacco smoke in the home, 2020 |
METEOR identifier: | 728294 |
Registration status: | Health, Standard 13/10/2021 |
Description: | The proportion of households with dependent children (aged 0–14) where someone reports living with a smoker who smokes daily inside the home. |
Rationale: | Second-hand smoke can cause lung cancer and heart disease deaths to non-smokers. Second-hand smoke can be especially harmful to children's health because their lungs are still developing. |

Computation description: | The proportion of households with children aged 0–14 where someone smokes at least one cigarette, cigar or pipe of tobacco per day inside the home. Analysis by remoteness and Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) is based on usual residence of person. Presented as a percentage for households (percentage is not age standardised). 95% confidence intervals and relative standard errors are calculated for percentages. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2020 Australian Health Performance Framework reporting: 2019. Data for 2001, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2016 were obtained from the AIHW National Drug Strategy Household Survey (NDSHS) run in respect of these years. Similar data elements were used to those listed above for the 2019 NDSHS. The SEIFA Index of Relative Socio-Economic Disadvantage (IRSD) has been used for this indicator. However, the SEIFA Index of Relative Socio-Economic Advantage and Disadvantage (IRSAD) is usually used for reporting data by socio-economic area in the NDSHS. Indigenous estimates have been provided, however the NDSHS is not specifically designed to obtain reliable national estimates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. In the 2019 NDSHS 2.4% of the sample (or approximately 533 respondents) identified as being of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin. For the first time, the 2019 NDSHS included remote Indigenous communities in the sample. However, these communities have been excluded from the analysis for this indicator. The differences in the sample selection process and the differences in the methodology means that the data collected from the remote Indigenous communities is not considered comparable to the data collected from Indigenous people surveyed in non-remote Indigenous communities. The exclusion of remote Indigenous communities makes it difficult to generalise the results in the NDSHS to the whole Indigenous population. Age and sex disaggregations are not available as the data are based on the household, not the respondent. |

Methodology: | Surveyed respondents are persons aged 14 and over living in a private residence (prior to 2019, surveyed respondents included people aged 12 and over). Respondents are asked if the residence includes children aged 14 or less, and if so, whether the residents include someone who smokes inside the home, someone who only smokes outside the home, or no one at home who regularly smokes. |
