Interventions for Tobacco Prevention and Control in Humanitarian Settings: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tobacco usage is an epidemic as statistics point towards smoking as the second leading cause of death. Populations experiencing humanitarian emergencies may experience a higher propensity for tobacco, alcohol, and other substance abuse disorders. This review aimed to map tobacco prevention and control interventions in humanitarian settings.

Aims and methods

The search for this scoping review was conducted in six databases and supplemented with a gray literature search. Articles were screened at title-abstract and full-text by two pairs of authors, and data was abstracted by three individuals independently. An adapted diffusion of governance framework is used to discuss the findings.

Results
