Measure: 
number
Baseline (Year):

Target: 
51
Target-Setting Method: 
Total coverage
Target-Setting Method Justification: 
The wording of this objective conforms with the glossary definition used within the State Tobacco Activities Tracking & Evaluation (STATE) System. It relates to a larger set of objectives for smoke-free indoor air that have total coverage as the target.
Numerator: 

Number of states and the District of Columbia with comprehensive laws for home-based daycare centers prohibiting smoking.

Comparable Healthy People 2010 Objective: 
Adapted from HP2010 objective
Data Collection Frequency: 
Annual
Methodology Notes: 

    Newly enacted state tobacco-control legislation is downloaded from Westlaw, an on-line legal database. CDC, Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) searches the Westlaw LEGIS-ALL database for all 50 states and D.C.’s enacted bills for the quarter using date restrictions. The bills are coded according to variables identified by CDC, OSH, which include the comprehensiveness of the law, includes smoking areas permitted or required, separately ventilated smoking areas required, and no smoking allowed. In some cases, data on enforcement authority, penalty for violation, and signage required are also collected.

    Home-based daycare centers are tracked in the STATE system as "home-based day care centers". To be counted as prohibiting smoking, states should be coded as "banned" or "restriction in effect when child on premises" in the STATE system.

Changes Between HP2010 and HP2020: 
This objective differs from Healthy People 2010 objective 27-13e in that the Healthy People 2010 objective tracked all day care centers while this objective tracks only home based day care centers.
