Abstract
Background: Reducing tobacco smoking during pregnancy is a focus to meeting the “Closing the Gap” target of halving the gap in mortality rates for Indigenous children under five within a decade. Approaches to encourage and empower Aboriginal women are crucial to reducing the prevalence in smoking during pregnancy. Empowerment approaches to Aboriginal health interventions connect with the holistic definition of Aboriginal health and have been increasingly interwoven in health interventions, programs and across Australia.
