This is an exciting research project for a First Nations scholar to undertake a PhD in collaboration with remote community stores and Aboriginal community-controlled health services. Nested within an NHMRC Ideas Grant, the aim of this research is to develop innovative supply-side strategies to reduce commercial tobacco use in remote First Nations communities, using a participatory, community-based approach to identify key issues and priorities for reducing tobacco sales, co-design feasible, culturally appropriate and financially sustainable strategies to do so, and pilot and evaluate their impact and acceptability.
