Healthy Starts (Te Piripohotanga)

The project aims to test whether a family based program about ETS smoke will reduce the number of clinic presentations of Indigenous infants (Aboriginal and M?ori) for respiratory illness in the first 12 months of the infants life. If successful, this project has the potential to improve the health of Indigenous children across Australia and New Zealand
