  • Unpacking complexities surrounding tobacco control policy formulation and tobacco industry interference in South Africa

    Open AccessMateusz Zatoński, Adam Bertscher et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2025

    South Africa (SA) used to be recognized as a committed leader in tobacco control (TC) having passed effective TC policies in the 1990s, but in recent years, it has been overtaken by other countries. While research suggests that the tobacco industry (TI) predominantly uses economic arguments to shape TC policy discussions in SA, TI tactics to influence policy formulation have not been examined in the peer-reviewed literature. In this study, we dra…

  • Industry influence on public health policy formulation in the UK

    Open AccessAmber Van Den Akker, Alice Fabbri et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Unhealthy commodity industries (UCIs) such as tobacco, alcohol, gambling, ultra-processed food and beverage producers are known to influence policy-making to advance their interests, often to the detriment of public health goals. This study mapped the complex system underpinning UCI’s influence on public health policy formulation in the UK and identified potential interventions to shift the system towards being able to better attain public health…

  • Identifying misleading corporate narratives

    Open AccessIona Fitzpatrick, Adam Bertscher et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2022

    Narratives are key to the way corporations represent themselves to the outside world, are important to the development of shared understandings and ultimately determine whether and how corporations are able to influence societal norms and participate in policy debates. A leaked corporate affairs strategy document, from the world’s largest transnational tobacco company, Philip Morris International (PMI), suggests a company concerned about credibil…

  • Recruiting the “Heavy-Using Loyalists of Tomorrow”

    Open AccessNason Maani, Adam Bertscher et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2019

    Restricting alcohol advertising and marketing is a cost-effective intervention for reducing alcohol harms. However, the alcohol industry maintains that advertising does not affect consumption, claiming that its purpose is to help consumers choose brands, it is not aimed at young people, it only promotes "responsible consumption", and any relationships with consumption are not causal. We reviewed 39 case studies (1981-2016) published by the advert…

  • Emergence of three general practitioner contracting-in models in South Africa

    Open AccessLinda Mureithi, James Michael Burnett et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2018

    The GPCI models were iterations of the centralized-purchaser model. Emergence of the other models was strongly influenced by purchaser capacity to manage contracts, payments and recruitment processes. Findings from the decentralized-purchaser model show importance of local context, provincial capacity and experience on influencing evolution of the models. Whilst contract characteristics need to be well defined, allowing for adaptability to the lo…

  • Unpacking policy formulation and industry influence

    Open AccessAdam Bertscher, Leslie London et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2018Referencias: 63

    Alcohol is a major contributor to the Non-Communicable Disease burden in South Africa. In 2000, 7.1% of all deaths and 7% of total disability-adjusted life years were ascribed to alcohol-related harm in the country. Regulations proposed to restrict alcohol advertising in South Africa present an evidence-based upstream intervention. Research on policy formulation in low- and middle-income countries is limited. This study aims to describe and explo…
