Evaluation Framework for Tobacco Legislation
Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the Tobacco and Primary Medical Services Act(Scotland) 2010
The Tobacco and Primary Medical Services (Scotland) Act 2010 was passed in January 2010. It proposes a number of new regulations aimed at making smoking less attractive and less accessible to children and young people under the age of 18.
The Monitoring and Evaluation framework is a portfolio of evaluation studies led by NHS Health Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government (2011-2015). Its purpose is to track the progress and impacts of implementing the Act. The evaluation studies focus on the prohibition of tobacco displays of tobacco in small retailers.
The evaluation studies will get underway in 2012 and will run through to 2015, with the monitoring of data continuing beyond.
