Aboriginal tobacco resistance tool kit (2012)

Description

The Aboriginal tobacco resistance tool kit was developed to help Aboriginal community controlled health services (ACCHSs) in New South Wales (NSW) reduce tobacco use among their clients. This tool kit aims to:

• increase the capacity of ACCHSs to undertake tobacco resistance and control activities
• increase support for ACCHSs to enable them to 'self assess' their tobacco resistance and control capacity.

The kit was designed to be easy to use and practical, no matter how much or little experience someone has in tobacco control.

The tool kit includes the following modules:

• 'let's get started' introductory module
• workplace smoking policy module
• getting to know your community - data collection module.

The tool kit also contains templates in Word format (2010 version) that are available to download from the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council of NSW website. ACCHSs can use these templates as is, or adapt the information for their own use.
