Aboriginal health workers are proposed as one way to help reduce smoking rates for Aboriginal people however there is a need for specifically developed courses to train health workers to deliver smoking interventions.
在过去二十年里,澳大利亚总体吸烟率有所下降,但澳大利亚原住民的吸烟率仍然很高,持续导致原住民整体健康状况不佳。有人提议让原住民健康工作者参与,以此作为帮助降低原住民吸烟率的一种方式,然而,需要专门开发课程来培训健康工作者实施吸烟干预措施。
