Timothy D. Johnson,
Rob Ralston
et al.

Abstract: Background Public health scholarship has uncovered a wide range of strategies used by industry actors to promote their products and influence government regulation. Less is known about the strategies used by non-government organisations to attempt to influence commercial practices.
