Building the Evidence Base for Tobacco Control Policies

本TTURC的总体目标是提高我们对国家一级烟草控制政策如何 以减少烟草造成的危害。- 最近通过了《烟草框架公约》 烟草控制框架公约》是第一个专门针对健康问题的国际条约， 在聚光灯下控制政策。各国政府现在相当关注哪一项国家级政策 或政策组合最能阻止烟草使用。本TTURC的目标是扩大科学基础， 通过促进跨学科研究来控制烟草的政策方法，这些研究可导致： 1.严格评估国家一级烟草控制政策的社会心理和行为影响， 发达国家和发展中国家 2.对国家一级烟草控制的方式和原因有一个更充分的、基于经验的理解 政策影响烟草相关行为，即政策效应的社会心理机制， 特别关注这些影响在经济水平和文化各不相同的国家之间可能有何不同; 3.评估烟草控制政策的新方法和分析方法; 4.扩大全球科学家网络，开展和促进烟草控制政策研究; 和 5.传播研究结果，为今后国家一级政策的制定和通过提供信息 举措

The overall objective of this TTURC is to improve our understanding how national level tobacco control policies can be applied to reduce the harms caused by tobacco. _itae recently adopted Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), the first international treaty devoted to a health issue, has recently placed national-level tobacco control policies in the spotlight. Governments are now paying considerable attention to which national-level policy or combination of policies work best to deter tobacco use. The goal of this TTURC is to expand the science base for policy approaches for controlling tobacco by fostering transdisciptinary research that can lead to: 1. rigorous evaluation of the psychosocial and behavioral eft_cts ofnationaMevel tobacco control policies in multiple developed and developing countries 2. a more fully developed and empirically based understanding of how and why national level tobacco control policies influence tobacco related behaviors, that is, the psychosocial mechanisms for policy effects, with particular interest in how those effects might vary across countries that vary in economic level and culture; 3. new methods and analytic approaches for the evaluation of tobacco control policies; 4. an expanded global network of scientists to conduct and contribute to research on tobacco control policies; and 5. dissemination of research findings to inform the development and adoption of future national-level policy initiatives.
