Ethics approval and consent to participate
: This consultation process was part of a larger study, SISTAQUIT (Supporting Indigenous Smokers To Assist Quitting): a Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial to Improve Strategies for the Management of Smoking Cessation in Pregnant Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Women. The consultation was approved by The University of Newcastle Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Ref H-2015-0438) and several other HRECs. The HRECs approved that a committee would be convened to consult on the collection of the infant outcomes, and the recommended outcome measures were later accepted into the protocol by the ethics committees. Ethical approval for participation of Indigenous women in focus groups was obtained as part of a separate study from The University of Newcastle HREC (REF H-2017-0247) and the New South Wales Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council (AH&MRC) (1303/17) HREC. Written consent was obtained from women.
