Current research

This five-year research programme comprises three whenu that collectively aim to reduce smoking disparities by accelerating progress towards a Smokefree Aotearoa.

EASE is Aotearoa’s International Tobacco Control (ITC) project, a health study which aims to support Aotearoa New Zealand’s Smokefree 2025 goal.

INSPIRED is a collaborative project across the first six countries to adopt government-endorsed endgame goals for smoking: Aotearoa New Zealand, Canada, Finland, Ireland, Scotland, and Sweden.

We will review documentation of reports, policy proposals and plans led by government, key NGOs and/or tobacco control/smokefree coalitions, or expert groups to identify and critically evaluate endgame goals, action plans, and/or implementation of endgame measures.

This study aims to assess the views on tobacco endgame measures of a diverse range of international tobacco control experts outside of Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia.

Te Ara Auahi Kore (TAKe) is a series of studies that provide much needed high quality evidence for addressing smoking disparities between Māori and non-Māori.
