Dutch Youth Health Care: From smoke free houses to smoke free parents

Summary of the Dutch report

Dutch Youth Health Care: From smoke free houses to smoke free parents
  • While Youth Health Care professionals often discuss ways of preventing secondhand smoke exposure to children (by smoking outside) with parents, they less frequently discuss ways parents could quit smoking completely.
  • YHC professionals appear largely unaware of any existing policies in their local YHC organisations about discussing smoking with parents.
  • YHC professionals need more time for discussing smoking with parents. They also need more materials, education and knowledge about referring parents to specialized smoking cessation support.
