The Gulibaa (Coolamon) Project: A state-wide, co-designed model of care supporting Aboriginal mothers to be smoke-free in pregnancy and beyond

Stream 3, 2022138, CIA Kennedy :: Significantly more Aboriginal women smoke during pregnancy compared to non-Aboriginal women. Group-based smoking cessation programs have been shown to increase quitting by 50%-130% in the general population but have never been evaluated in Aboriginal communities. We will co-design, embed in Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services, and evaluate a group-based smoking cessation program. This project will contribute to significant improvements in inter-generational health and well being.
