Tobacco smoking is a leading cause of preventable death globally and a major driver of health inequity. People living in subsidised low-income housing are more likely to smoke and experience secondhand smoke exposure compared to the general population. While tobacco control interventions have yielded substantial population health benefits, people living in subsidised housing experience a greater burden of tobacco-related harms. This presentation will present findings from a scoping review on tobacco control interventions implemented in subsidised low-income housing contexts globally, to determine the types of interventions that have been implemented and to understand their impact on smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
This review also featured in the special prevention issue of Public Health Research & Practice.
This event is presented by the Centre of Research Excellence on Achieving the Tobacco Endgame which is a member of the Collaboration for Enhanced Research Impact (CERI).
