Labonté et al provide an insightful analysis of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and its impact on a selection of important health determinants. Their work confirms concerns raised by previous analyses of leaked drafts and offers governments serious and timely reasons to carefully consider provisions of the agreement prior to moving forward with ratification. It also contributes more generally to a growing literature focused on identifying the health impacts of trade. This commentary uses the authors' analysis as a starting point to reflect on two interrelated issues relevant both for taking seriously one of the article's main recommendations and future work in the area of trade and health.
拉邦特等人对《跨太平洋伙伴关系协定》（TPP）及其对一系列重要健康决定因素的影响进行了深刻分析。他们的工作证实了之前对泄露草案的分析提出的担忧，并为各国政府在批准协议前进之前提供了认真和及时的理由，仔细考虑协议的规定。它也更广泛地为越来越多关注贸易对健康影响的文献做出了贡献。本评论文章利用作者的分析作为出发点，反思与认真对待其主要建议之一以及贸易和健康领域未来工作相关的两个相互关联的问题。
