Global Tobacco Control: An Integrated Approach to Global Health Policy
Jennifer Prah Ruger Yale University - School of Medicine Development, Vol. 48, No. 2, pp. 65-69, 2005 Abstract: Following the development discussion in the last volume on the 'politics of health', Jennifer Prah Ruger argues that the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) represents a shift in global health policy that recognizes the importance of addressing health needs on multiple fronts and integrating public policies into a comprehensive set of health improvement strategies. She argues that the FCTC provides a model for multifaceted approaches to health improvement that require simultaneous progress on various dimensions.
