Funded by the Health Education Board for Scotland the ASH Scotland project Women, Low Income and Smoking aimed to explore new ways of working to address smoking reduction among women living on low income.
The project operated between April 1996 and March 1999 and had four objectives. These included the funding and support of community based initiatives, the exploration of different approaches and methods of evaluation, the development of a communication and network facility to support work at local level and the dissemination of the work throughout Scotland.
A full account of the work and outcomes can be found in the final report, 'Breaking Down the Barriers' (accessible via the ASH Scotland Library). The Executive Summary, Conclusions and Recommendations of the project can be viewed here.
