To systematically address barriers to smoking cessation at multiple levels, initiatives to ameliorate social disadvantages and discrepancies in social determinants of health between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians are required to be taken in tandem with SCC. Initiatives may include making relevant policy changes and allocating more resources for education, employment, housing, and community development. Enhancement of knowledge, skills, and confidence of HP regarding the provision of high-quality SCC for Indigenous women and their families is warranted. Future interventions may build on high motivation, resilience, and strengths of individual women, and incorporate support strategies engaging family and community.
