The Ministry of Education’s ICT unit is encouraging school use of the Internet to access resources, and recommended that these resources be available online. More...

Research on Reducing Youth Smoking Initiation
In early 2004 the HSC, with support from the Cancer Society, Apaarangi Tautoko Auahi Kore (now known as Te Reo Marama) and the Smokefree Coalition, sought and attained funding from the Ministry of Health to develop a national framework for action to reduce smoking initiation. The group established an expert advisory group (review committee) and a process to develop a literature review of the evidence around effective interventions for reducing smoking initiation. This literature review and the review committee process established the basis for the development of a framework to reduce smoking initiation in New Zealand, setting out practical actions for implementation. The framework has been developed for use by health providers, health funders, policy makers and researchers interested in youth tobacco control.
