Background:
- State-funded local tobacco control projects aim to increase smoke-free multi-unit housing (MUH) policies.
- Landlords in California often resist implementing voluntary smoke-free policies despite legal authority.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the challenges and barriers encountered by state-funded local projects during smoke-free MUH policy adoption campaigns.
- To understand the landlord perspective on voluntary smoke-free policies in MUH.
Main Methods:
- Examined 40 local campaigns in California led by county health departments and community-based organizations.
- Focused on identifying barriers and landlord arguments against smoke-free MUH policies.
Main Results:
- Landlords raised concerns regarding tenant smoker rights, privacy, potential negative policy effects, and enforcement difficulties.
- Strained relationships between local project staff and property management sometimes hindered campaign progress.
Conclusions:
- Understanding landlord perspectives on tenant rights and policy enforcement is crucial for future smoke-free MUH campaign strategies.
- Addressing landlord concerns and fostering better relationships can improve the success of voluntary smoke-free policy adoption.
