Background: People with developmental disabilities are not immune from the addictive effects and poor
health outcomes associated with cigarette use. Direct support professionals often play a large role in the
social environments of people with developmental disabilities and the literature suggests that one's
environment can influence behavior.
Objectives: To examine the relationship between the smoking behaviors of people with developmental
disabilities and their direct support professional providers. Two exploratory aims of the study were to
assess how direct support professionals facilitate smoking behaviors and to describe the use of home
smoking policies.
Methods: The Ohio Department of Disabilities' online provider search database was used to randomly
select participants. A total of 398 direct support professionals completed an online survey about
smoking. Direct support professionals served as proxy reporters for the smoking behaviors of those with
developmental disabilities. Descriptive statistics were calculated and Chi–Square tests were used.
Results: Findings suggest that there was no significant relationship (xỉ = 0.300, p=0.584) between the
current smoking behaviors of people with developmental disabilities and their direct support providers.
Direct support professionals were most likely to facilitate smoking behaviors by allowing people with
developmental disabilities to smoke in front of them and waiting for them to finish smoking before
moving on to a new activity. Approximately 46% of people with developmental disabilities were reported
to have some type of home smoking policy.
Conclusions: Future research is needed to better understand the reasons why people with developmental
disabilities initially start smoking and continue to smoke.
