Methods
Observational Monitoring
Observational monitoring, such as visual inspection of an environment (e.g., surveying rooms for the posting of “No Smoking” signs, or counting the number of smokers present) is a relatively simple and inexpensive method of monitoring. In addition:
- This method can be implemented, conducted and analyzed rapidly providing nearly instantaneous results.
- It is an easy tool to provide a snapshot of an environment at a specific point in time and can be repeated often. To improve quality of data collection, it is important that a standardized protocol be implemented.
The information gathered with observational data collection complements the other methods used to monitor SHS exposure and is often used simultaneously.
