Training health professionals in smoking cessation and tobacco abuse prevention for Aboriginal Australians [ 2015 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Kristin Carson-Chahhoud (Principal investigator)

Brief description Aboriginal Australians still experience a disproportionate burden of tobacco related death and disease compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Health professionals who are charged with helping Aboriginal smokers quit have reported a lack of skills, confidence and knowledge in this area. Our study intends to address this gap by training health professionals in quit smoking techniques coupled with distribution of culturally tailored resources through a randomised controlled trial.
