We am working with Action on Smokiing and Health Wales on a research proposal to the Big Lottery. The aim of the work will be to understand tobacco use (smoking and chewing) in the Bangladeshi and Somali communities in Cardiff. The study will focus on knowledge, understanding and cultures of tobacco consumption. We would then work with the communities to develop appropriate approaches to reducing tobacco use.
We would be interested to hear from anyone who has done any similar work with either community and anyone who has experience of adapting smoking cessation for specific minority communities.
