Background Political priority pertains to the agenda setting phase of the policy process whereby an issue emerges as one that draws the attention of and triggers action from high-level decision makers. Few studies have investigated why political priority fails to develop or reemerge for certain public health issues in middle-income countries. In Turkey, road traffic injuries are a major cause of mortality and morbidity. Although, the issue has gained attention in recent years, it has, unfortunately, not received political priority.
