Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke and want to quit - a cohort profile from the Koori Quit Pack study.

Introduction: Reducing the prevalence of smoking is a national priority, however there is limited evidence on what smoking cessation supports are utilised, accessible, and effective among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This paper describes a cohort profile of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who smoke and want to quit to inform tailored smoking cessation interventions.

Method: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people residing in New South Wales (NSW), Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and Victoria, who were smokers wanting to quit, were recruited through health services and online advertisements from May to October 2022.
