PP11 Using the “4Ps” Marketing Approach to Evaluate Health-Promoting Food Policies. A Rapid Scoping Review
Background Population-wide policy actions to promote a healthy diet offer potentially large benefits in terms of reducing the non-communicable disease burden. However, there are wide ranges of potential options, with varying effectiveness. In order to make sense of this diversity, we conducted a rapid scoping review and tested a simple conceptual framework for categorising policies based on the marketing “4Ps” approach (Price, Product, Place and …
OP15 Identifying the most effective public health nutrition policies
Background EuroHeart 2 is a European research programme led by the European Heart Network and European Society of Cardiology ( http://www.ehnheart.org/euroheart-ii.html ). One aspect of the project aimed to identify the most effective public health nutrition policies, in order to inform future evidence-based strategies to promote cardiovascular health. We interviewed senior policy-makers and thought-leaders in 14 diverse EU countries to elicit th…
OP16 Utilising a Novel Framework to Assess Public Health Nutrition Actions Across 30 European Countries (EuroHeart II Project)
Background EuroHeart II is a European programme designed to inform cardiovascular health strategies across Europe. Our project examines the role of food policies in cardiovascular disease prevention, including the development and piloting of a novel conceptual framework for categorising public health nutrition policies. Methods We conducted a mapping exercise to identify and categorise public health nutrition policy actions across 30 European cou…
PS15 Policy Actions to Reduce Dietary Salt Intake
Background A range of policies aim to reduce salt intake; however, their relative effects remain unclear. We undertook a narrative synthesis of existing evidence to determine the most promising approaches. Methods We searched for systematic reviews, then empirical and modelling studies of salt reduction policies in six electronic databases. Reference lists of retrieved articles were screened and key informants were asked to identify further revie…
PS16 Which is more Effective, A Universal or Targeted Approach, to Implementing the National Healthy Start Programme? A Mixed Methods Study
Background Healthy Start is a statutory scheme in the UK, aiming to improve the health of children and pregnant or lactating women by providing food vouchers and vitamins. The Department of Health intended the intervention to be targeted to low incomes families (a targeted approach), but in some areas Healthy Start vitamins are available to eligible mothers and children independent of income (a universal approach). The aim of this study is to inv…
Barriers to intersectoral working to improve health
Background The National Health Service (NHS) is undergoing dramatic changes. Currently established partnerships are thus likely to be significantly disrupted by the radical reforms outlined in the Public Health White Paper. We therefore explored the process of inter-sectoral working between public health and local authorities, in order to better understand the potential opportunities and threats associated with the proposed changes. Methods In de…
O5-5.2 Evidence-based public health policy
Introduction The potential power of public health policies emphasises the need for sound decision-making. Using research evidence to underpin public health policy has been strongly promoted; however, its implementation has not been straightforward. This study explores the use of research evidence in public health decision-making. Methods We systematically reviewed empirical studies on the use of research evidence in public health policy (18 studi…
