Analysis of Tobacco Industry Documents

描述（由申请人提供）：减少烟草相关疾病需要了解其载体：烟草业。本应用程序继续使用以前保密的烟草业文件，以了解烟草业如何促进吸烟，并反对旨在减轻烟草引起的癌症、心脏病和其他疾病负担的公共卫生措施。它论述了烟草业对科学进程的影响，业界对二手烟的健康和社会影响的认识，利用烟草业有针对性的营销战略来改善健康宣传，并揭露了烟草业颠覆烟草控制政策的努力。具体目标是：(1)继续描述和评估烟草业影响科学行为、解释和传播的不断演变的战略，以及烟草业如何利用这些战略来反对烟草控制政策。(2)分析烟草业对二手烟定量生物检测和定性感官评估检测的协调使用，以生产更容易被社会接受的卷烟。(3)研究烟草业使用生物测定法来评估二手烟的致癌性和其他毒性，并将其私人研究与公开研究进行对比。(4)探索利用烟草营销研究为年轻人制定有针对性的广告，并为烟草营销人员确定可用于为这一群体制定更有效的烟草预防和戒烟策略的成功原则。(5)分析针对女性的烟草广告的发展，以确定销售香烟的主题和技术，并找出可能有助于动员女性抵制这些营销努力以及改进烟草控制方案的见解。(6)分析不断演变的烟草业战略，以反对地方、州和国际层面的烟草控制政策，特别强调烟草业与酒店业和博彩业的持续参与，以及反对世界卫生组织烟草控制框架公约的努力。(7)继续通过互联网查找和分发与本项目其他目标相关的烟草业文件给其他调查人员和公众，特别强调吉尔福德档案馆和“孤儿”收藏品。本研究利用电子数据库中烟草业文献的系统检索和分析。这项研究的结果将指导制定更有效的烟草控制战略。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Reducing tobacco related disease necessitates understanding its vector: the tobacco industry. This application continues using previously secret tobacco industry documents to understand how the tobacco industry promotes smoking and opposes public health measures designed to reduce the burden of tobacco induced cancer, heart disease and other diseases. It addresses tobacco industry influence on the scientific process, industry knowledge of the health and social effects of secondhand smoke, using the industry's targeted marketing strategies to improve health communications, and exposing industry efforts to subvert tobacco control policies. Specific aims are: (1) Continue to describe and assess the tobacco industry's evolving strategies to influence the conduct, interpretation, and dissemination of science and how the industry has used these strategies to oppose tobacco control policies. (2) Analyze the tobacco industry's coordinated use of quantitative biological assays and qualitative sensory assessment assays of secondhand smoke to produce a more socially acceptable cigarette. (3) Study of the industry's use of biological assays to assess the carcinogenicity and other toxicity of secondhand tobacco smoke and contrast their private research with what they made public. (4) Explore the use of tobacco marketing research to develop targeted advertising for young adults, and identify successful principles for tobacco marketers that can be used to develop more effective tobacco prevention and cessation strategies for this group. (5) Analyze the development of tobacco advertising targeting women to identify themes, and techniques that work to sell cigarettes, and to identify insights that may be useful to mobilize women to resist these marketing efforts, as well as to improve tobacco control programs. (6) Analyze evolving tobacco industry strategies to oppose tobacco control policies at the local, state, and international level, with particular emphasis on the industry's ongoing involvement with the hospitality and gaming industries, and efforts to oppose the World Health Organization's Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. (7) Continue to locate and distribute tobacco industry documents relevant to the other Aims of this project to other investigators and the public via the Internet, with particular emphasis on the Guildford Depository and "orphan" collections. The research utilizes systematic search and analyses of tobacco industry documents in electronic databases. Results of this research will guide the development of more effective tobacco control strategies.
