“…This issue shows the importance of education and arising public knowledge. Highrisk behaviors have psychological and social origin (10), which is parallel with the results of a previous study in China (24) suggesting that parent-child separation in earlier childhood leads to aggressive behaviors. Lower age of illicit drug abuse among these children indicates that these groups are more vulnerable to adverse environmental conditions that may result in high prevalence of violence and addiction in societies.…”

“…Besides, high-risk behaviors among street children have serious consequences for health system and society in the future. On the other hand, there is an association between cultural capital and high-risk behaviors (10) and as most of these children have low cultural capital, they are at risk of high-risk behaviors more than other youth groups. Thus, recognition of risk factors for high-risk behaviors commitment among street children and their families can lead to identification of a series of principles to address the needs of intervention and consequently decline their problems.…”

“…Elements regarding university include degrees, research publications, and funding (Guttman & Lingard, 2010). Research suggests that cultivation represents domain-specific literacy (Ergin, 2009;Fernandez-Kelly, 2008), parents' social position (Byun, Schofer, & Kim, 2012;Dunt et al, 2011;Hung et al, 2013;Khawaja & Mowafi, 2006;Schori, Hofmann, & Abel, 2014), and credentials (Andersen & Jaeger, 2015;Dehghan Dehnavi, Parsamehr, & Naseri, 2014;Hung et al, 2013). Social cultivation is shared from individual to friend, family member, and some community member by the form of rubric, knowledge, and ability.…”

“…Research has examined individuals' progress through smoking uptake, heavy smoking, persistent smoking, and lack of success in quitting (Gagne et al, 2015;Haines et al, 2009).

Adolescents dependent on each other and follow their peers' example.…”

Cultural capital is defined as capital characterized by cultivation, rubric, knowledge, and ability. These aspects of cultural capital are typically autogenic, and accumulate and reproduce through lifelong community membership. Cultural capital reduces inequality and ultimately enhances the well-being of individuals and the community through bonding, bridging, and linking economic and social capital.

“…While the prevalence of unhealthy life behaviors has increased globally and many people, including fetuses, are inadvertently exposed to tobacco smoke every day, cultural capital can affect people's perception of health and increase tobacco health literacy as an intangible resource that shapes people's tastes. Dehghan Dehnavi et al (20) concluded that increasing people's inner awareness significantly reduces the tendency to high-risk behaviors.…”

Background: Tobacco-related health literacy is a skill for pregnant women that leads to a correct understanding of the information needed to maintain the health of the fetuses and themselves against tobacco smoke. Cultural capital is also associated with the capacity and ability to acquire skills. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate pregnant women's cultural capital and tobacco-related health literacy and the relationship with fetal smoke exposure. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited a sample of 500 pregnant women referred to hospitals affiliated with Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The data were gathered using a researcher-made questionnaire. Results: Tobacco-related health literacy was 60.8% more common at the high level. The cultural capital of pregnant women was 81.4% higher in the medium level. Logistic regression showed that cultural capital (OR = 0.47 and B = -0.737) and tobacco-related health literacy (OR = 0.77 and B = -0.0257) reversely affected the fetal tobacco smoke exposure (P < 0.05). As women's tobacco-related health literacy and cultural capital increased, the rate of fetal smoke exposure decreased. Conclusions: According to the results, as pregnant women’s health literacy concerning tobacco smoke and their cultural capital increased, the tobacco smoke exposure of pregnant women and their fetuses decreased.
