Unfortunately, the risk is not limited to smokers. It is dangerous for non-smokers particularly women, kids and elderly. Despite the remarkable reduction of tobacco exposure in public places, it is still continuing at homes as the most common places. Interventions to create a smoke-free home are needed, but little is known about them.</p> <p><strong>Aim: </strong>The aim of this study is to explain the field randomized controlled trial that is designed to examine the role of non-smoker women to create a smoke-free home through establishing complete agreement on ban smoking at home.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>In this field randomized controlled trial, the effectiveness of women&rsquo;s education will be evaluated in primary health-care centers. A total of 136 non-smoker women who exposed to second-hand smoke by their husbands at home will be included (68 intervention/non-intervention group). The intervention arm will receive an educational package including a consultation visit individually, a peer group session, a booklet, a &ldquo;no smoking&rdquo; sign. The primary outcome is the frequency of smoke-free home (no exposure to second-hand smoke at home). Mediator outcomes include a complete agreement to ban smoking at home, second-hand smoke exposure rate and self-assertiveness rate. All measurements will be conducted on baseline, 1 and 3 months after intervention. <strong>Conclusions: </strong>Outcomes will present the effects of implementing multi-component women&rsquo;s education intervention program to ban smoking at home. If the effectiveness of the trial is confirmed, it will be suggested to merge this package to routine care in primary health-care centers.</p> <strong>Keywords: </strong>Agreement, environmental tobacco smoke exposure, home smoking ban, interventionhttp://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/view/1231http://ijpm.mui.ac.ir/index.php/ijpm/article/download/1231/1293
