越来越多的证据表明，不健康的商品行业 (UCI) 使用共同策略来影响符合其商业利益的政策决策。迄今为止，比较 UCI 的企业政治活动 (CPA) 的研究相对较少，尤其是比较酒精和赌博行业。对英国上议院 (HoL) 两次调查中酒精和赌博行业提交的材料进行了比较和归纳主题分析。对 CPA 中酒精和赌博行业使用的框架主题、论点和策略进行了比较。酒精和赌博行业的反应在问题和解决方案方面基本上使用相同的框架。其中包括认为只有“少数”人会受到伤害，强调个人责任并将伤害归咎于其他行业参与者。他们提倡针对这些危害采取有针对性或局部性的解决方案，以取代更有效的人口层面的解决方案，并强调引入不符合行业利益的监管所带来的危害。这些发现与之前的文献一致，表明 UCI 使用相同的框架和论据来围绕其危害和解决方案进行叙述。这项研究还确定了新颖的策略，例如将损害归咎于其他行业参与者。政策制定者应了解这些策略，以避免行业对政策决策产生不当影响，并且了解策略的共性可能有助于为所有 UCI 提供更有效的公共卫生应对措施。
There is growing evidence that common strategies are used across unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs) to influence policy decisions in line with their commercial interests. To date, there have been relatively few studies comparing corporate political activity (CPA) across UCIs, especially comparing the alcohol and gambling industries. A comparative and inductive thematic analysis of alcohol and gambling industry submissions to two House of Lords (HoL) inquiries in the UK was conducted. Themes in the framing, arguments and strategies used by the alcohol and gambling industries in CPA were compared. Alcohol and gambling industry responses largely used the same framings, both in terms of the problems and solutions. This included arguing that harms are only experienced by a ‘minority’ of people, emphasising individual responsibility and shifting blame for harms to other industry actors. They promoted targeted or localised solutions to these harms, in place of more effective population level solutions, and emphasised the perceived harms of introducing regulation not in the industries’ interests. These findings are consistent with previous literature suggesting that UCIs use the same framing and arguments to shape the narrative around their harms and solutions to those harms. This study also identified novel strategies such as shifting blame of harms to other industry actors. Policy makers should be aware of these strategies to avoid undue industry influence on policy decisions and understanding commonalities in strategies may help to inform more effective public health responses across all UCIs.
