Summary
This study tests whether an eHealth app can help parents of children under 6 reduce their kids' exposure to second-hand smoke. About 160 families will use the app or receive standard care. The goal is to lower children's urine cotinine levels and prevent asthma and other diseases linked to smoke exposure.
