Adapting the MPOWER policy framework for fossil fuels and public health: reflections on content and process
We argue in the paper that there is much to learn from previous public health advocacy and action against health-harming industries, such as tobacco, through a 'Commercial Determinants of Health' (CDoH) lens. The MPOWER framework is an example of work in tobacco control field which has been a valuable and cross-cutting framework used to guide and support tobacco policy implementation and prioritisation since its development in 2008, contributing to progress in reducing smoking rates and associated morbidity and mortality.
