Methods: We analyzed publicly available documents and interviewed 14 key stakeholders. We applied the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) to analyze these findings. Results: Previous attempts to approve comprehensive FCTC-based initiatives failed due to a lack of political will, the tobacco industry\u2019s close connections to policymakers, and a lack of health advocacy coordination. Applying the MSF reveals increased attention towards collecting and sharing data to frame the severity of the problem (problem stream). The expansion of a coordinated health advocacy coalition and activities led to increased support for desired FCTC policy solutions (policy stream). The election of President L\u00f3pez Obrador and legislative changes led to a deep renewed focus on tobacco control (politics stream). These three streams converged to create a policy window to secure a strong FCTC-based initiative on the political agenda that was ultimately passed. Conclusions: The Mexican experience illustrates the importance of continued health advocacy and political will in adopting FCTC-based policies. Other countries should follow Mexico\u2019s lead by collecting and sharing data through coordinating efforts in order to be prepared to seize political opportunity windows when strong political will is present.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph21070917","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,15]],"date-time":"2024-07-15T18:17:32Z","timestamp":1721067452000},"page":"917","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The Perfect Storm: Applying the Multiple Streams Framework to Understand the Adoption of a WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control-Based Policy in Mexico"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6219-298X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eric","family":"Crosbie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of Nevada Reno, Reno, NV 89557, USA"},{"name":"Ozmen Institute for Global Studies, University of Nevada Reno, Reno, NV 89557, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Perez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, University of Nevada Reno, Reno, NV 89557, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Adriana","family":"Rocha Camarena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"M\u00e9xico SaludHable, Mexico City 01000, Mexico"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Valentina","family":"Ochoa Vivanco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington, DC 20005, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gianella","family":"Severini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington, DC 20005, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3861-1785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Patricia","family":"Gutkowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington, DC 20005, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Sosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington, DC 20005, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8240-9122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ernesto M.","family":"Sebri\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, Washington, DC 20005, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2023, August 10).
