Title: 'people Pull the Rug from under Your Feet': Barriers to Successful Public Health Programmes

چکیده
This paper describes the impact of staff turnover and attrition in a tobacco control program in Scotland. Data collection involved 56 in-depth interviews with program managers and intervention team members. Staff turnover has been recognized as a significant barrier in implementing public health programs, but has never been examined as carefully as in this paper to my knowledge. Understanding how staffing challenges affect community interventions is a worthwhile undertaking.
