“…Local spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that Qinghai province, Sichuan province, Chongqing city, Guizhou province, Hunan province, and Hubei province were all in high-high cluster areas, Hebei province was in a low-low cluster area, and Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Yunnan province, and Guangdong province were all in low-high cluster areas. OLS spatial regression model analysis showed that regions with a higher proportion of males (β = 23.878, t = 3.207, P = 0.003), a higher proportion of individuals aged 0 – 14 years (β = 0.751, t = 3.665, P < 0.001), a higher proportion of individuals aged 15 – 64 years (β = 0.929, t = 3.279, P = 0.003), a higher illiteracy rate (β = 0.675, t = 2.703, P = 0.011), a higher tobacco consumer price index (β = 2.563, t = 2.384, P = 0.024), and a lower proportion of cities with smoke-free legislation (β = 0.069, t = 2.119, P = 0.034) had higher SHS exposure rates in healthcare facilities.ConclusionsSHS exposure in Chinese healthcare facilities is mainly concentrated in central-south, southwest, and northwest China. …”
