Abstract
Background: Pregnancy is an important window of opportunity to help
smokers quit. SISTAQUIT (Supporting Indigenous Smokers To Assist
Quitting), a cluster randomized controlled trial at Aboriginal Medical Services (AMS) and GP practices, compares normal care versus evidence-based culturally appropriate smoking cessation care (SCC) training to health providers to determine if training improves quit outcomes. NRT utilization by pregnant trial participants collected during the trial requires contextualization with usage nationally and internationally.
Aims: Primary Aim: To describe Australian usage of NRT, particularly for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. Secondary aim: To describe NRT usage in select International countries, particularly for First Nation peoples and/or pregnant women.
