Improving the implementation of tobacco control policies in low-and middle-income countries: a proposed framework

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: ► Although tobacco control policies have been adopted across the globe, effective implementation continues to be a major challenge, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries, where almost 80% of the world's smokers reside.► This conceptual framework illustrates the constellation of factors that have been shown to influence implementation fidelity: political commitment, institutional capacity and operational effectiveness, social climate and tobacco industry interference.► Researchers and practitioners can use this framework to identify the points of leverage in the implementation process and contribute to actionable knowledge as well as theory development.
