The Progress of Tobacco Control Research in Sub-Saharan Africa in the Past 50 Years: A Systematic Review of the Design and Methods of the Studies
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- Although tobacco control research involving Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) continues to grow, the region is still a “research desert”.
- There is the need for research capacity building for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).
- Cohort studies and randomized control trials involving populations in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) are lacking and need to be pursued.
