N2  - During the 1988 federal election campaign, the Directors of Community Health Departments throughout Québec met with the candidates of the three national political parties. The objectives of this intervention were to inform the candidates on the importance of regulating the installation of airbags in motor vehicles and to elicit from them a commitment to take initiatives in that direction once elected into office. This report assesses the effect of this intervention on the candidates of the Québec City region. After the intervention, two-thirds of candidates had developed a strongly favourable opinion of airbags. A majority, including 11 of the 13 Conservatives who were elected, committed themselves in writing to lobby in support of airbags. Despite this commitment, these Members of Parliament made little progress during the year following the election.<p />  <p>Language: fr</p>
