虽然我们对法律和公共政策的影响了解很多，但对它们的前身却知之甚少。政策采纳的理论表明，各种政策投入有助于形成立法变革。本研究考虑了1970年至1995年期间加拿大市政吸烟法规的颁布。二手烟（SHS）的出现被认为是当地吸烟限制增加的一个可行的解释。一些指标证实了对社会科学及人文科学的公共卫生关注日益增加。使用加拿大卫生部的数据，在加拿大的市政吸烟条例的制定，本文采用了事件的历史分析，跟踪四个指标的作用，提高认识的SHS作为一个公共卫生问题的科学研究，议会辩论，印刷媒体，健康宣传。研究结果表明，印刷媒体和健康宣传发挥最强的作用，解释在加拿大通过市政吸烟细则的增加。研究结果支持政策采纳过程的定量研究和政策制定理论，考虑政策采纳的多重影响。(C)2003爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
While much is known about the impact of law and public policy, we know considerably less about their antecedents. Theories of policy adoption suggest that a variety of policy inputs help to shape legislative change. This research considers the enactment of municipal smoking bylaws in Canada between 1970 and 1995. The emergence of second-hand smoke (SHS) has been offered as a viable explanation for the increased enactment of local smoking restrictions. A number of indicators confirm the rising public health concern around SHS. Using Health Canada data on municipal smoking bylaw enactment in Canada, this paper employs an event history analysis to trace the role of four indicators of the increased recognition of SHS as a public health concern-scientific research, parliamentary debate, print media, and health advocacy. Findings indicate that the print media and health advocacy play the strongest role in explaining the increase in the adoption of municipal smoking bylaws in Canada. Results lend support to the quantitative study of the policy adoption process and to theories of policy making that consider multiple influences on policy adoption. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
