On the 18th of October 2023 a research to practice forum was organised by the UNSW School of Population Health, SESLHD Health Equity Promotion and Prevention Service, the Lebanese Muslim Association, and UNSW Centre for Primary Health Care and Equity.
The Forum brought together more than 90 people from community organisations, services, universities and government to discuss the challenges and ways forward to address shisha use and vaping.
The forum was part of the Shisha No Thanks! program that has been running since 2017, which is supported by the Cancer Institute NSW.
