Received <strong>the</strong> ABC approach <strong>from</strong> a general practitioner<br />
Nearly three in 10 (29.1%, 25.4–32.9) 15–64-year-old current smokers who had seen a<br />
GP in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months were provided with all three components <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ABC<br />
approach. There were no significant differences by sex or age group.<br />
Received <strong>the</strong> ABC approach <strong>from</strong> a general practitioner, by ethnic group<br />
Table 14 gives an indication <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> 15–64-year-old current smokers who<br />
received ABC <strong>from</strong> a GP in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months, by ethnic group.<br />

After adjusting for age, 15–64-year-old European/O<strong>the</strong>r current smokers were found to<br />
be less likely to report receiving ABC <strong>from</strong> a GP in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months than current<br />
smokers in <strong>the</strong> total population (Figure 60).<br />
There was no difference between Māori and Pacific current smokers and current<br />
smokers in <strong>the</strong> total population in <strong>the</strong> age-standardised prevalence <strong>of</strong> having reported<br />
receiving ABC <strong>from</strong> a GP in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months.<br />
