A randomised controlled trial of a high intensity intervention to reduce smoking among pregnant Indigenous women

土著妇女在怀孕期间吸烟的比率和土著家庭被动吸烟暴露的比率高得令人无法接受，65%的人在怀孕期间吸烟。相比之下，只有约20%的其他澳大利亚女性被报道在怀孕期间吸烟。然而，澳大利亚还没有进行试验来评估土著妇女在怀孕期间可以在多大程度上得到帮助戒烟。这是在汤斯维尔和凯恩斯的土著和托雷斯海峡岛民社区控制的卫生服务机构进行的一项临床试验。这项试验旨在表明，向妇女及其主要家庭支持提供戒烟建议的密集项目是否可以降低土著妇女怀孕期间的吸烟率。在这些卫生服务机构工作的全科医生、土著卫生工作者和护士将进行这项研究，并接受如何提供必要的支持以帮助妇女戒烟的培训。

The rates of smoking in pregnancy for Indigenous women and passive smoke exposure in Indigenous households are unacceptably high, with 65% smoking during pregnancy. In contrast only about 20% of other Australian women are reported to smoke during pregnancy. However there have been no Australian trials to assess the extent to which Indigenous women can be assisted to quit smoking during pregnancy. This is a clinical trial conducted in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Services located in Townsville and Cairns. The trial is designed to show whether an intensive program of smoking cessation advice provided to women and their major family supports can reduce smoking ratesamong Indigenous women in pregnancy. General practitioners, Aboriginal health workers and nurses working in these health services will conduct the study and be trained in how to deliver the support required to assist women quit smoking.
