24Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Key Concepts and Terms

• When thinking about language it’s important to consider historical and cultural context.

• The terms "Aboriginal“ and "Indigenous" are used as general terms to collectively describe three distinct cultural groups known as the "Inuit", the "Métis" and "First Nations“

• Some terms may be used inclusively and interchangeably during the next two days

Page 25: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

25Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Diversity within Aboriginal Population

• Inuit and Métis views will be highly underrepresented

• The term Aboriginal will be used as often as possible in an effort to be inclusive, but it is a broad general term that includes an incredibly diverse set of communities and peoples.

Page 26: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

26Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Diversity within Aboriginal Population

• Relationship and teachings about tobacco

• Commercial vs. traditional tobacco

CAMH Philosophy

Care at CAMH…– is informed by a variety of perspectives– means building on client strengths and goals– is supported by a variety of resources both

educational and human– requires each one of us to reflect on our

assumptions, values, and beliefs– requires each one of us to commit to critical thinking– requires each one of us to commit to ongoing

learning, with and from each other.

34Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Why Take a New Approach?• There are Aboriginal people who follow traditional

teachings, there are Aboriginal people who follow some traditional teachings but not others, and there are Aboriginal people who do not practice or follow any traditional teachings.

• It is important to take a pan-Aboriginal approach to programming that addresses ALL of these perspectives.

• If we are to have an impact on commercial tobacco use we need to meet people with programming that is relevant to them whatever their beliefs may be, i.e., traditional teachings,contemporary approaches, or both.

36Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is using commercial tobacco?The First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Health Canada reports the following facts on smoking rates in First Nations and Inuit communities:

– Sixty percent of on-reserve First Nations people between the ages of 18 and 34 currently smoke;

– Seventy percent of Inuit in the north between the ages of 18 and 45 currently smoke;

– Almost half of Inuit (46%) who smoke started smoking at age 14 or younger; and

– The majority of on-reserve First Nations people who smoke (52%) started smoking between the ages of 13 and 16.

Page 37: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

37Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is using commercial tobacco?• Winter (2001) notes the increasing rates of commercial

tobacco use by Native youth and the rising rates of death among North America's indigenous peoples from lung cancer, heart disease, and other tobacco-related illnesses

• Retnakaran, Hanley, Connelly, Harris and Zinman (2005) found that cigarette smoking at an early age may be a factor contributing to the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease amongst Aboriginal youth in Canada

Page 38: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

38Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is using commercial tobacco?

• Pregnant and parenting mothers: Heaman (2005) concluded that Aboriginal women are three times more likely to be smoking during and after pregnancy then Non-Aboriginal women.

Page 39: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

39Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is using commercial tobacco?

• Second hand smokeAboriginal households report that 32% (compared to provincial rates of 18%) of households with children under age 11 experience daily or nearly daily exposure to second hand smoke. (Heart & Stoke Foundation)

Page 40: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

40Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Impacts of Tobacco Use

• The Aboriginal Cancer Care Unit (ACCU) (2008a) provides a provincial context for tobacco misuse: the use of tobacco products kills 16,000 people in Ontario every year, making rates among Aboriginal youth 15- 17 years old triple those of 15-17 year olds in the general Canadian Population.

Page 41: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

41Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is trying to quit?

• Some studies suggest that Aboriginal peoples themselves are more concerned about the ill effects of smoking.

• Hayward, Campbell and Sutherland-Brown (2007) conducted an exploratory, comparative study of the utilisation and effectiveness of tobacco cessation quitlines among Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadian smokers.

• This exploratory analysis shows that even without targeted promotion, Aboriginal smokers do call Canadian quitlines, primarily for health related reasons.

Page 42: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

42Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Who is trying to quit?

• Six months after intake, Aboriginals and non- Aboriginals had taken similar actions with 57% making a 24-hour quit attempt.

• Quit rates were higher for Aboriginals than for non- Aboriginals, particularly for men.– The 6-month prolonged abstinence rate for Aboriginal

men was 16.7% compared with 7.2% for aboriginal women and 9.4% and 8.3% for non-Aboriginal men and women, respectively. Hayward, Campbell and Sutherland-Brown (2007)

Page 43: Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples 1 Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples TEACH Specialty Course November 17 & 18, 2011 Toronto,

43Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

Resilience & Resistance

• Motivation to quit smoking:– Resistance against colonization– Respect for the sacred medicine – Understanding commercial tobacco use and

intentions of tobacco companies– Winter (2001) also notes that tobacco, when used

properly, can be a life-affirming and sacramental substance that plays a significant role in Native creation myths and religious ceremonies.

Final Thoughts: Rolling with resistance

“Cigarettes are so cheap on the reserve, it costs almost nothing to keep smoking.”

55Tobacco Interventions with Aboriginal Peoples

"Tobacco was seen by our people as a gift from the Creator which would enable us to communicate with him. We were given tobacco because it affected the way we were able to think… We were given knowledge to fashion a pipe with which we could take very small puffs of tobacco smoke. We would only take small puffs, and then we would immediately blow out the smoke because smoke was not meant to be taken into our body and held there. The smoke needed to leave us in order to rise to the Creator with our prayers and thoughts. If we held it in our body, it would be an unnatural presence there. Immediately after taking the puff of smoke, our minds would race, and our whole body would be affected by this smoke since tobacco is a very powerful medicine. It has a specific purpose which must not be abused."Elder Danny Musqua, Wunska. First Nations Youth Inquiry into Tobacco use: Final Comprehensive Report to Health Canada, [Saskatchewan Indian Federated College, April 1997], p.52).

Social Determinants of Health

• The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age, including the health system.

• These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power and resources at global, national and local (community) levels, which are themselves influenced by policy choices.

• Differences in social determinants of health are mostly responsible for health inequities - the unfair and avoidable differences in health status seen within and between countries. (WHO 2008)

2009 Report on the State of Public Health in Canada: Growing Up Well – Priorities for a Healthy Future

• Considered a variety of indicators for measuring and improving the state of public child health.

• Top determinant of health: Income and socioeconomic status

‘Children raised and born in low-income families are often impacted by inadequate access to food, affordable housing, and other necessities. This can lead to long-term health problems.’ (2009)

‘Chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease and Type II diabetes are strongly related to living in poverty, as is the incidence of respiratory disease, lung cancer, and some other cancers’ (Smith 2003, Raphael, Anstice, and Raine 2003, Raphael and Farrel, 2002.)
