The IMPRESS was a pilot trial of a multi-component intervention which aimed to culturally adapt, and then evaluate, the effectiveness of evidence-based strategies to reduce second-hand smoking within homes in the peri-urban area of Bangladesh. It also aimed to determine the costs versus benefits of implementing such an intervention. The study was carried out in India and Bangladesh.
