Barriers to evidence-based alcohol policies in France: Insights from interviews with parliament members

In line with the MSA streams, our findings suggest that ambivalent framing of alcohol, weak support for evidence-based measures and a wine-favorable political environment may explain the weak alcohol control policies in France. Future research should include additional stakeholders to capture the full set of dynamics that contribute to policy inertia.

Abstract

In line with the MSA streams, our findings suggest that ambivalent framing of alcohol, weak support for evidence-based measures and a wine-favorable political environment may explain the weak alcohol control policies in France. Future research should include additional stakeholders to capture the full set of dynamics that contribute to policy inertia.
