Pregnancy Roundtable 2020
The Indigenous Smoking and Pregnancy Roundtable was held on 20 February 2020 in Canberra, ACT and was chaired by National Coordinator, Professor Tom Calma AO. The meeting brought together an invited group of 35 academic researchers and service providers to consider current needs and future directions for addressing smoking in pregnancy for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander mothers. Participants included representatives from a number of Regional Tobacco Control Grant recipient organisations.
The Roundtable provided a valuable opportunity for researchers and service providers to share information among themselves and with the Department of Health (DoH) on a range of issues relating to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander smoking and pregnancy. This information will assist the DoH in developing future approaches to these issues and may also lead to increased communication and collaboration among those working in this area.
