The role of policy actors’ belief systems and interests in framing public health nutrition problems: A case study of obesity in Australia
Objective: This study investigated how the belief systems and interests of policy actors shaped their framing of the causes and solutions to obesity and how this influenced policy recommendations. Design: Submissions to the Select Committee on Obesity Epidemic in Australia (SCOEA) were collected, and actors were classified according to their interests in commercial and non-commercial groups. A framework grounded in social constructionism was used…
The economic costs of alcohol‐related harms at the local level in New South Wales
An analysis of the transformative potential of Australia’s national food policies and policy actions to promote healthy and sustainable food systems
Objective: Despite commitment by many countries to promote food system transformation, Australia has yet to adopt a national food policy. This study aimed to evaluate Australian Federal Government’s (AFG) food policies and policy actions potential to promote healthy and sustainable food systems. Design: This study is a desk-based policy mapping followed by a theoretically guided evaluation of policy actions. This involved three steps: (1) identif…
Leadership for systems change: Researcher practices for enhancing research impact in the prevention of chronic disease
Introduction: Strengthening systems for chronic disease prevention is essential. Leadership for systems change is an important key to strengthening systems. Leadership in prevention research for supporting systems change remains a relatively abstract concept and there is limited empirical information about the leadership practices of prevention research teams when viewed through a complexity lens. In this paper we examine and describe some system…
Sydney's ‘last drinks’ laws: A content analysis of news media coverage of views and arguments about a preventive health policy
Air pollution and the noncommunicable disease prevention agenda: Opportunities for public health and environmental science
Air pollution is a major environmental risk factor and contributor to chronic, noncommunicable diseases (NCDs). However, most public health approaches to NCD prevention focus on behavioural and biomedical risk factors, rather than environmental risk factors such as air pollution. This article discusses the implications of such a focus. It then outlines the opportunities for those in public health and environmental science to work together across …
Changes in Australian community perceptions of non-communicable disease prevention: A greater role for government
Opportunities may exist to implement government health-promoting policies (e.g., taxing soft drinks), although advocacy may be needed to address the concerns of less supportive subpopulations. Attitudes on government intervention in general may be becoming more polarized; future research examining the association of such changes with exposure to different information sources could inform communication strategies for future health policy change
The university should promote health, but not enforce it’: Opinions and attitudes about the regulation of sugar-sweetened beverages in a university setting
These findings indicate there is some support for environment-centred, population-based approaches to reduce the availability and appeal of sugar-sweetened beverages in an adult environment such as a university setting. However these results suggest that public health may need to focus less on educating populations about the harms associated with sugar-sweetened beverages. Instead, there should be greater emphasis on explaining to populations and…
