Abstract

Background: Aboriginal pregnant women have a high smoking prevalence (45%). Health providers (HPs) report lack of knowledge, skills and confidence to effectively manage smoking during pregnancy. The ICAN Quit in Pregnancy intervention aimed to improve HPs’ management of smoking in Aboriginal pregnant women with webinar training, free oral nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and an educational resource package. The intervention design was based on formative research, a theoretical analysis and developed collaboratively with two Aboriginal Medical Services.
