About this trial
Smoke Free SafeCare (SFSC) is a proposed braided intervention consisting of two evidence-based interventions: Some Things are Better Outside (STBO), aimed at promoting smoke free home rules, and SafeCare, aimed at reducing child maltreatment and improving mother and child outcomes. STBO is effective in creating smoke free homes and reducing second-hand smoke in low-SES (socioeconomic status) households. SafeCare is an effective parent training program that is broadly disseminated in child protective services in the United States. SafeCare is a promising mechanism to effectively increase the reach of STBO to reduce SHS (secondhand smoke) exposure in families with documented high rates of tobacco use and children with cumulative risk for negative health outcomes.

SafeCare providers will be excluded if they have planned for significant employment leave, resignation, or promotion during the study period.
We will exclude those who 1) Report that no one smokes in the home; 2) Demonstrate an inability to understand their responsibilities as outlined in the consent form. This will be determined as the research staff verbally go through the consent form with the mothers. If mothers do not understand the consent form and subsequent procedures, they will be excluded.
