To describe recall among a national sample of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers and recent ex-smokers of having received advice to quit smoking and referral to non-pharmacological cessation support from health professionals, and their association with quit attempts.
DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: The Talking About The Smokes project used a quota sampling design to recruit 1721 smokers and ex-smokers who had quit ≤ 12 months previously from communities served by 34 Aboriginal community-controlled health services and one community in the Torres Strait. Baseline surveys were conducted from April 2012 to October 2013. Results for daily smokers were compared with 1412 Australian daily smokers surveyed by the International Tobacco Control Policy Evaluation Project between 2006 and 2011.
Participants' recall of having been: seen by a health professional in the past year, asked if they smoke, advised to quit, and referred to other cessation support services; and having made a quit attempt in the past year.
Compared with other Australian daily smokers, higher proportions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander daily smokers saw a health professional in the past year (76% v 68.1%) and were advised to quit smoking (75% v 56.2% of those seen). Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait daily smokers who saw a health professional recalled being asked if they smoke (93%). Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander daily smokers who had been advised to quit were more likely to have made a quit attempt in the past year than those who had not (odds ratio, 2.00; 95% CI, 1.58-2.52). Among all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smokers and recent ex-smokers who had been advised to quit, 49% were given a pamphlet or brochure on how to quit, but fewer were referred to the telephone Quitline (28%), a quit-smoking website (27%) or a local quit course, group or clinic (16%).
Most Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander daily smokers recalled being recently advised by a health professional to quit, which was associated with making a quit attempt.
描述全国范围内的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民吸烟者和近期戒烟者的记忆，即他们是否从卫生专业人员那里获得过关于戒烟的建议以及非药物戒烟支持的转介，以及这些建议与戒烟尝试之间的关联。
设计、背景和参与者：“谈论烟雾”项目采用配额抽样设计，从 34 个由原住民社区控制的卫生服务机构和托雷斯海峡的一个社区服务的社区中招募了 1721 名最近戒烟 12 个月内的吸烟者和戒烟者。基线调查于 2012 年 4 月至 2013 年 10 月进行。与 2006 年至 2011 年期间国际烟草控制政策评估项目调查的 1412 名澳大利亚每日吸烟者相比，每日吸烟者的结果进行了比较。
参与者回忆起在过去一年中是否有以下情况：看过卫生专业人员、被询问是否吸烟、被建议戒烟、被转介到其他戒烟支持服务；以及在过去一年中是否尝试过戒烟。
与其他澳大利亚每日吸烟者相比，较高比例的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民每日吸烟者在过去一年中看过卫生专业人员（76%比 68.1%），并被建议戒烟（75%比看过的人中的 56.2%）。大多数看过卫生专业人员的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民每日吸烟者回忆说，他们被询问是否吸烟（93%）。被建议戒烟的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民每日吸烟者过去一年尝试戒烟的可能性高于未被建议戒烟的吸烟者（优势比，2.00；95%置信区间，1.58-2.52）。在所有被建议戒烟的原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民吸烟者和近期戒烟者中，有 49%的人收到了有关如何戒烟的小册子或宣传册，但被转介到戒烟热线（28%）、戒烟网站（27%）或当地戒烟课程、小组或诊所（16%）的人数较少。
大多数原住民和托雷斯海峡岛民每日吸烟者回忆起最近被卫生专业人员建议戒烟，这与尝试戒烟有关。
