Funded Activity Summary

Smoking rates among the Indigenous population are the biggest contributor to the life expectancy gap, while research has shown that gambling is causing significantly more harm in the Indigenous compared with the general Australian population. This project will apply public health approaches to reducing tobacco use and minimising harms associated with commercial and non-commercial gambling among the Indigenous population.
