Structure

Factor: Tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke)
Outcome: Low birth weight
Population: mothers and their most recent births
Setting: home
Study design: analysis of Demographic and Health Survey data from sub-Saharan Africa: household second-hand smoke reported by the mother, against the birth weight and the perceived size at birth of her most recent child (class 4)
Effect: prevalence 16.0
Caveat: exposure and birth weight reported by the mother, not measured
