Stopping for me. Women, disadvantage and smoking

Title:
Stopping for me. Women, disadvantage and smoking.
Published:
HPA, November, 1996, in association with the Women's Resource Development Agency.
Description:
This research report was produced as the result of a joint project undertaken by the Women's Resource and Development Agency and the Health Promotion Agency for Northern Ireland. The project involved working with women in areas of economic and social disadvantage in Belfast and the greater Belfast area and took place over a two year period from December 1993 to November 1995. The focus of this project was on the smoker as a woman, and not the woman as a smoker. This report aims to highlight the realities of women's lives and barriers to stopping smoking and to point to effective methods of supporting them to stop as well as to provide recommendations of good practice for people working in this field.
