July 2024 l A content analysis of illicit tobacco-related crimes reported in Australian media
Australian survey and seizure data suggest a growing illicit tobacco market. As an illicit product, accurately tracking trends in illicit tobacco growing, manufacture and sales is challenging. This is the first study that has used media articles and government press releases to synthesise trends in Australia’s illicit tobacco market over the past two decades, and as such, represents the most comprehensive synthesis to date of illicit tobacco-related crimes in Australia. This presentation will explore and discuss these trends.

February 2024 | Intensive tobacco treatment incorporating contingency management for women attending substance use in pregnancy antenatal services. Is it feasible?
Pregnant women who use tobacco and other psychoactive substances are a high-priority group. Typically, considerable resources are devoted to preventing other substance use, but most women will continue to smoke tobacco throughout their pregnancy and beyond. This webinar describes the feasibility of an intensive tobacco treatment incorporating contingency management, nicotine replacement therapy and behavioural counselling into treatment for women attending substance use in pregnancy antenatal services. Included are results from the pilot trial including a cost-consequence analysis, and qualitative analysis of acceptability from the client and clinician perspective.
