It is now six days since the month of Ramadan has started. I am busy writing up my dissertation and I have to keep telling myself to keep at it, keep going as food used to be a good distraction to study.
I’m doing a desk based health impact assessment on the Bangladeshi Stop Tobacco Project and critiquing the available data published and unpublished (project reports) to highlight what worked and what didn’t. I was astonished by the amount of funds available for work with black and minority ethnic groups one particular one being the NHS cancer plan pledged £1 million to support BME initiatives. I was puzzled as to what was done with that money. I have been going over the mapping study (AGAIN! ) by Crosier and McNiell in 2003 and lo and behold, £750,000 of the Cancer Plan money in to the South Asian and Muslim Tobacco Education campaign. The rest went to fund smaller projects with faith based organizations.
I recommend the Bme Mapping study for anyone to read or reread as it is one of the best reports to base your local initiatives on.
