Three interventions were found in published and grey literature. Elements of individual empowerment were embedded in all interventions. Interventions considered barriers for Aboriginal women to quit smoking and areas for capacity building. Interventions used health education resources. There was limited reporting of community empowerment domains. Aboriginal ethics and capacity building was the only criterium addressed by all studies. Interventions are incorporating individual empowerment, but seldom report community empowerment. The development of reporting guidelines or extensions of current guidelines would be beneficial to set a consistently high standard reporting across Aboriginal health interventions, similar to the work conducted to develop the extension of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Equity (PRISMA-E) for health equity in systematic review reporting. Reporting empowerment domains would reflect the government priority of empowerment to improve Aboriginal health, as well as enhancing knowledge translation into practice.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 09:40:12 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53451 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:51:29 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:11300 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:12:38 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50687 Wed 01 May 2024 16:01:02 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50313 60 minutes after waking), and were categorised as low smoking dependency compared with those aged 35 years and over. One-third of women (153 [35.7%]) had ever used NRT and/or SSM. A greater proportion of older women (35–49-year-olds) had sustained a quit attempt for years (62/149 [45.6%]) and reported trying NRT and/or SSM (78/149 [52.4%]) than women in younger age groups. Quitting suddenly rather than gradually was significantly associated with sustained abstinence (prevalence ratio, 1.27 [95% CI, 1.10–1.48]). Among women who had never used NRT or SSM, most (219/275 [79.6%]) reported reasons for this in the category of attitudes and beliefs. NRT and SSM use was also more likely among women who were confident talking to their doctor about quitting (odds ratio, 2.50 [95% CI, 1.23–5.10]) and those who received most of their information from a health professional (odds ratio, 1.71 [95% CI, 1.11–2.63]). Conclusion: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women want to quit smoking and are making attempts to quit. Quitting suddenly, rather than reducing cigarette consumption, is associated with increased sustained abstinence. Health providers can enable access and uptake of NRT and/or SSM and should recognise that NRT and/or SSM use may change over time. Consistent messaging, frequent offers of smoking cessation support, and access to a range of smoking cessation supports should be provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women to enable them to be smoke-free.]]> Tue 18 Jul 2023 11:15:16 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44011 n = 11), with the remaining studies being mixed methods (n = 3) or quantitative (n = 3). The majority focused on either a localised geographic area or specific Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community (n = 11). One study specifically focused on factors influencing contraceptive use, albeit among postpartum women. The remaining studies discussed factors influencing contraceptive use within the context of risky behaviour, sexual transmitted infections, or contraceptive practices more generally. Factors unique to individual communities included community attitudes (e.g. importance of not being too young to have a baby), specific cultural norms (e.g. subincising the penis as part of transition to manhood), and access to culturally appropriate health services. Other factors, including contraceptive characteristics (e.g. discomfort of condoms) and reproductive coercion (e.g. partner wants a baby), were similar to those found in the broader population of Australia and internationally. Most studies were lacking in quality, warranting more methodologically sound studies in the future to further assess the factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Conclusions: Identifying community specific facilitators, as well as understanding the more broadly applicable factors contributing to contraceptive use or non-use, is essential if wanting to offer appropriate contraceptive services within an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander community.]]> Tue 14 Nov 2023 14:41:56 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39093 Tue 10 Sep 2024 07:46:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38089 Tue 03 Aug 2021 18:19:17 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:34600 Tue 01 Oct 2019 12:35:52 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:35279 Thu 17 Mar 2022 14:38:11 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29493 Thu 04 Nov 2021 10:38:33 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:32122 Thu 03 May 2018 14:10:54 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:5614 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:49:24 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50804 Mon 24 Jun 2024 12:44:05 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47441 Mon 23 Jan 2023 08:45:28 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50113 Mon 03 Jul 2023 14:28:41 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53869 Fri 19 Jan 2024 12:38:22 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:39080 Fri 06 May 2022 12:40:34 AEST ]]>
