Indigenous Tobacco Control Scoping Project
CEITC is conducting a review of evidence relating to tobacco consumption by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and is identifying what further research needs to be undertaken to understand the determinants of tobacco consumption, enablers of use, and the barriers to quitting. Components of this project are to:
-
Objective 1 (Completed): Review current literature, identify gaps in knowledge about smoking behaviours and barriers to quitting and provide recommendations for future research;
-
Objective 2 (Completed): Review targeted communication strategies that could decrease Indigenous smoking rates and provide recommendations for appropriate communication trials;
-
Objective 3 (Completed): Review existing smoking prevention and cessation interventions and provide recommendations for appropriate trials; and
-
Objective 4 (Underway): Review current tobacco control workforce capacity and needs and provide recommendations for improving capacity.
CEITC has reported on Objectives 1 to 3 to the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing and will be publishing the results of its findings shortly.
