- W2369604865 abstract "Issue addressed: Tobacco is a significant cause of disease and premature death among Aboriginal people. While it is acknowledged that major improvements are required in all aspects of Aboriginal health status in Western Australia, significant health gains can be made in terms of reduced morbidity and mortality by reducing the prevalence of smoking among Aboriginal people. Methods: In 1994, the Aboriginal Smoking Project was implemented by the Smoking and Health Program, Health Department of Western Australia. Strategies and resources developed to date include Quit newsletters, a resource manual, and seminars on smoking and health issues for Aboriginal health workers; radio and television advertising, targeting adult Aboriginal smokers; posters and swap cards promoting a smoke-free lifestyle through the use of high-profile Aboriginal sporting role models; and support for state and national programs. Awareness of the harmful effects of tobacco on health among Aboriginal communities is low. As a consequence, the primary focus of the project so far has been on Aboriginal health workers. The short-term aims of the project are to raise awareness, among Aboriginal workers throughout the state, of the harmful effects of smoking and to assist and support them in the development of interventions at a local level. Results: While a range of strategies and resources have been developed and implemented in collaboration with Aboriginal health workers and health agencies, it has been difficult to evaluate their effectiveness other than by anecdotal feedback. Furthermore, the implementation of sustainable community programs in support of tobacco control has yet to be achieved. While there is growing interest in smoking and health issues among Aboriginal health workers and agencies, lack of education and training, resource support and wider community involvement continue to present barriers. Conclusion: Sustained, collaborative effort, and the support and involvement of Aboriginal community leaders, is vital to achieving a reduction in the prevalence and harm caused by tobacco in Aboriginal communities. So what? Tobacco use is the most preventable cause of disease in developed countries. Reductions in the prevalence and harm caused by tobacco use among Aboriginal communities is a major health promotion challenge. (author abstract)" @default.
