DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many jurisdictions prohibit smoking in work places and public spaces because of the clear threat to human health, and such prohibitions have been found to result in reduced tobacco use initiation and increased cessation. However, because of the 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.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多司法管辖区禁止在工作场所和公共场所吸烟，因为这对人体健康构成明显威胁，并且已发现此类禁令会导致开始吸烟减少和戒烟增加。然而，由于联邦政府承认的美国印第安部落的主权地位，州无烟法律通常不会在部落土地上实施，这些部落土地上的封闭环境继续允许吸烟。在纳瓦霍民族，由纳瓦霍人领导的联盟纳瓦霍队领导的协调一致的努力，以消除工作场所和公共场所的二手烟。纳瓦霍团队在纳瓦霍立法系统内工作了两年，以通过一项法案，禁止在纳瓦霍国家吸二手烟。尽管到目前为止还没有结果，但这些努力正被密切关注，作为一个对美国和全球部落和其他社区产生影响的测试案例。我们认为，只有通过在一个强大、广泛和战略性的网络中发展和有效实施联盟和伙伴，才能改变纳瓦霍民族和其他部落社区关于二手烟的政策。这项社区参与式研究将开始与形成一年的仪器开发和团队建设之间的研究人员和纳瓦霍队成员。第2-4年的三波定量社交网络数据将增加人种学数据，以研究有可能优化的关系和沟通模式，以增加政策变化。此外，背景因素（例如，地方和州的具体政策，游戏行业的努力等）将进行分析，包括所有110个分会（纳瓦霍相当于县）的数据，以跟踪和解释政策变化的障碍，并评估进展。这些数据将在三个不同咨询小组的指导下进行分析，包括纳瓦霍队的成员，研究结果将在整个拨款期间与纳瓦霍队和其他部落国家的成员分享，以最大限度地发挥研究的影响。
