After adjusting for age, 15–64-year-old Māori current smokers were found to be more<br />
likely to receive ABC <strong>from</strong> a health care worker in <strong>the</strong> past 12 months than <strong>the</strong> total<br />
population (Figure 50). There were no o<strong>the</strong>r significant differences by ethnic group.<br />
