Networks Among Tribal Organizations for Clean Air Policiies (NATO CAP)

许多司法管辖区禁止在世界各地和公共场所吸烟，因为吸烟对浑南构成明显威胁。 健康，而这种禁令已被发现导致烟草使用开始减少和增加 停止。然而，由于联邦承认的美洲印第安人部落的主权地位，州 无烟法一般不在部落土地上执行，这些部落上的封闭环境 土地继续允许吸烟。 关于纳瓦霍民族，由纳瓦霍人领导的名为Team的联盟领导了协调一致的努力 纳瓦霍‘，消除工作场所和公共场所的二手烟。纳瓦霍团队已经工作了两年 在纳瓦霍立法系统内多年通过一项法案，该法案将禁止在纳瓦霍州吸二手烟 纳瓦霍民族。尽管到目前为止没有任何效果，但这些努力正受到密切关注，作为一个测试案例 对美国和全球的部落和其他社区的影响。我们认为，不断变化的政策 关于二手烟对纳瓦霍民族和其他部落社区的影响 通过发展和有效实施联盟和合作伙伴建立一个强大、广泛和 战略网络。 这项社区参与性研究将从仪器开发和团队形成的一年开始。 在研究人员和纳瓦霍团队成员之间建立。量化社交网络的三波浪潮 2-4年级的数据将用人种学数据加以扩充，以检查关系和沟通 有可能为增加政策变化而进行优化的模式。此外，语境因素 (例如，地方和州的特定政策、博彩业的努力等)将被分析，包括来自所有 110分会房屋(纳瓦霍相当于县)，以跟踪和解释政策障碍 改变，并评估进展情况。这些数据将在三个不同咨询机构的指导下进行分析 包括纳瓦霍小组成员在内的小组和调查结果将与纳瓦霍小组成员和 其他部落国家在整个任期内给予赠款，以最大限度地发挥研究的影响。 相关性(请参阅说明)： 烟草控制联盟经常导致无烟政策的通过。我们的发现将 告知这些联盟如何能够更有效地在其社区内建设能力，以产生 政策变化。我们从北约GAP了解到的情况将与其他土著人民的司法管辖区相关 这对美国和其他国家来说是有益的，并可能对联盟解决其他公共卫生问题的努力有用。

Many jurisdictions prohibit smoking in worl<places and public spaces because of the clear threat to hunnan health, and such prohibitions have been found to result in reduced tobacco use initiation and increased cessation. However, because ofthe sovereign status of federally-recognized American Indian tribes, state smoke-free laws are generally not implemented on tribal lands, and enclosed environments on these tribal lands continue to allow smoking. On the Navajo Nation, there have been concerted efforts led by a Navajo-led coalition called Team Navajo', to eliminate secondhand smoke in workplaces and public places. Team Navajo has worked for two years within the Navajo legislative system for passage of a bill that would prohibit secondhand smoke in Navajo Nation. Though to no avail so far, these efforts are being watched closely as a test case with implications for tribal and other communities across the U.S. and globally. We believe that changing policy regarding secondhand smoke on the Navajo Nation and other tribal communities can only come about through the development and effective implementation of coalitions and partners in a strong, broad and strategic network. This community participatory research will begin with a formative year of instrument development and team building between the researchers and Team Navajo members. Three waves of quantitative social network data in years 2-4 will be augmented with ethnographic data, to examine relationships and communication patterns that have the potential to be optimized for increasing policy change. In addition, contextual factors (e.g. local and state-specific policies, gaming industry efforts, etc.) will be analyzed, including data from all 110 Chapter Houses (the Navajo equivalent of counties), in order to track and explain barriers to policy change, and to evaluate progress. The data will be analyzed with guidance from three different advisory groups, including members of Team Navajo, and findings will be shared with members of Team Navajo and other tribal nations throughout the term of the grant, to maximize the impact of the research. RELEVANCE (See instructions): Tobacco control coalitions often lead efforts towards the passage of smoke-free policies. Our findings will inform how these coalitions can be more effective at building capacity within their communities to result in policy change. What we learn with NATO GAP will be relevant to other indigenous peoples' jurisdictions in the US and beyond, and may be useful to coalition efforts to address other public health issues.
