DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many jurisdictions prohibit smoking in work places and public spaces because of the clear threat to human health, and such prohibitions have been found to result in reduced tobacco use initiation and increased cessation. However, because of the sovereign status of federally-recognized American Indian tribes, state smoke-free laws are generally not implemented on tribal lands, and enclosed environments on these tribal lands continue to allow smoking. On the Navajo Nation, there have been concerted efforts led by a Navajo-led coalition called Team Navajo', to eliminate secondhand smoke in workplaces and public places. Team Navajo has worked for two years within the Navajo legislative system for passage of a bill that would prohibit secondhand smoke in Navajo Nation. Though to no avail so far, these efforts are being watched closely as a test case with implications for tribal and other communities across the U.S. and globally. We believe that changing policy regarding secondhand smoke on the Navajo Nation and other tribal communities can only come about through the development and effective implementation of coalitions and partners in a strong, broad and strategic network. This community participatory research will begin with a formative year of instrument development and team building between the researchers and Team Navajo members. Three waves of quantitative social network data in years 2-4 will be augmented with ethnographic data, to examine relationships and communication patterns that have the potential to be optimized for increasing policy change. In addition, contextual factors (e.g. local and state-specific policies, gaming industry efforts, etc.) will be analyzed, including data from all 110 Chapter Houses (the Navajo equivalent of counties), in order to track and explain barriers to policy change, and to evaluate progress. The data will be analyzed with guidance from three different advisory groups, including members of Team Navajo, and findings will be shared with members of Team Navajo and other tribal nations throughout the term of the grant, to maximize the impact of the research.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多司法管辖区禁止在工作场所和公共场所吸烟，因为对人类健康有明显的威胁，并且发现这种禁令导致烟草使用开始减少和暂停。但是，由于联邦认可的美洲印第安人部落的主权地位，通常在部落土地上没有实施无烟法，并且这些部落土地上的封闭环境继续允许吸烟。在纳瓦霍（Navajo Nation）上，由纳瓦霍（Navajo）领导的名为纳瓦霍（Navajo）团队的联盟领导的一致努力，以消除在工作场所和公共场所中的二手烟。纳瓦霍（Navajo）团队在纳瓦霍（Navajo）立法系统中工作了两年，以通过一项将禁止在纳瓦霍（Navajo Nation）的二手烟的法案。尽管到目前为止尚无可用，但这些努力正在密切关注的测试案例，对美国和全球其他部落和其他社区的影响。我们认为，只有通过在强大，广泛和战略性的网络中建立和有效地实施联盟和合作伙伴，才能实现关于纳瓦霍国家和其他部落社区二手烟的政策。这项社区参与性研究将从研究人员和纳瓦霍团队成员之间的仪器开发和团队建设开始。在2 - 4年内，将使用人种志数据来增强定量社交网络数据的三波浪潮，以检查有可能优化以增加政策变化的关系和交流模式。此外，将分析上下文因素（例如本地和特定国家的政策，游戏行业的工作等），包括来自所有110章众议院的数据（相当于县的纳瓦霍人），以跟踪和解释政策变化的障碍，并评估进度。这些数据将在包括Navajo团队成员在内的三个不同咨询小组的指导下进行分析，并将在整个赠款期间与Team Navajo和其他部落国家的成员共享调查结果，以最大程度地提高研究的影响。
