Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Cigarette smoking and other forms of commercial tobacco use remain disproportionately high among American Indian communities compared with the general U.S. population. Mainstream tobacco control strategies often have limited success in Tribal contexts, underscoring the need for culturally grounded interventions. METHODS: We conducted 30 key informant interviews with program staff and Tribal community members from 11 California Tribes participating in the California American Indian Tobacco Initiative. Interviews were conducted at two time points, transcribed, and analyzed using descriptive and evaluation coding to assess the implementation, perceived impact, and challenges of core tobacco control objectives. RESULTS: All 11 programs successfully engaged youth through coalitions and education activities. Nine programs implemented smoke-free household efforts with mixed but generally positive uptake of voluntary pledges. Five programs implemented tobacco product waste initiatives that increased awareness of environmental harms and mobilized community clean-up events, and four pursued excise tax strategies, with questions about revenue allocation emerging as a key challenge. Across objectives, culturally relevant, community-driven approaches were seen as critical to success. CONCLUSIONS: Tribal-led interventions including youth coalitions, smoke-free household pledges, and tobacco waste campaigns show promise for reducing commercial tobacco harms in California American Indian communities, though policy and implementation barriers remain and warrant ongoing attention.
