Tobacco use and road traffic injuries are major public health problems in Turkey. During the last decade, the former issue received political priority in the country, while the latter did not despite the immense health and economic burden that road traffic injuries pose on the Turkish population. Political priority can facilitate the attainment of public health goals. Unfortunately, however, limited cross-case analyses exist to help us understand why it emerges for certain public health issues but fails to develop for others in low- and middle-income countries.

"Quitting like a Turk:" How political priority developed for tobacco control in Turkey
Hoe, Connie; Rodriguez, Daniela C.; Uzumcuoglu, Yesim; Hyder, Adnan A. (2016-09-01)

The primary aim of this study is to understand the process and determinants of how tobacco control became a political priority...
