Testing the effects of nutrition-related claims on perceptions of and preferences for alcohol products among Australian consumers
To appeal to health-conscious consumers, alcohol companies are marketing some products with a variety of on-pack claims. The aims of this study were to assess (i) whether the presence of sugar, carbohydrate, or energy claims on alcohol labels can influence perceived healthiness and product selection, (ii) whether any differences occurred by age and gender, and (iii) whether claim format influenced any observed effects. A total of 2034 Australian …
Do foods that display sustainability claims have a lower carbon footprint than their unlabelled counterparts
Purpose Labels indicating greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) on food packaging are intended to signal to consumers which products have a lower carbon footprint. However, it is currently unknown whether products featuring these claims have lower GHGe than their unlabelled counterparts. This study compared the GHGe of packaged foods with and without GHGe-relevant claims. Methods We used GHGe (kg CO 2 eq/kg) and labelling data for 22,145 products avail…
‘Zero Alcohol Drinks Are Really Complex’
Developing and Applying a Typology of ‘Better for You’ Claims on Alcohol Products
Trends in the Range of Zero Alcohol Products Available in Supermarkets and Alcohol Stores in Australia
How food regulations help or hinder the implementation of policies to promote healthy population diets
Objective: Governments are seeking to regulate food environments to promote health by restricting sales and marketing of processed foods high in fat, sugar and sodium. We aimed to evaluate whether the legal instruments in member states of the Western Pacific Region (WPR) mandate the declaration of nutrient composition for nutrients of concern in relation to Codex Alimentarius and non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention. Design: We undertook con…
Policy implementation learnings from the introduction of a mandatory alcohol pregnancy warning label
Policy makers lack guidance on effective ways to introduce alcohol warnings, making it important to document the experiences of early adopter countries. Aims of this study were to (i) assess uptake of a mandated pregnancy warning label in Australia, (ii) identify the placement of the warning on products (i.e. front, back, side, top, or bottom), and (iii) compare the results for (i) and (ii) between 2023 and 2024 to provide insights into industry …
Suboptimal uptake and placement of a mandatory alcohol pregnancy warning label in Australia
To increase uptake of the mandatory pregnancy warning label, policymakers should consider mandating that all alcoholic beverages available for sale, not just products labelled from 1 August 2023, display the warning. Existing requirements could be revised to ensure that the label is more prominently displayed
Concerned but confused
Calls to reduce ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption through population health strategies such as front-of-pack labelling are increasing. Gaining insight into consumer perceptions may help inform effective strategies in this area. This study explored (i) Australian adults' awareness, understanding, and recognition of UPFs and (ii) their interest in front-of-pack labelling to signpost UPFs. Twelve online focus groups were conducted with 112 Aust…
There's just a lot of numbers and I just want to have a drink”
Various governments are considering the implementation of energy labelling on alcohol products as one element of obesity prevention policies. However, little is known about the most effective ways to communicate energy information to consumers. The aim of the present study was to explore consumers’ reactions to different energy information provision formats to assist the development of effective energy labels. Nine focus groups (n = 83 participan…
Looking past the stereotypes – Disabled people as foster carers
England has seen a progressive decline in the number of approved fostering households, whereas the number of children needing foster homes has increased. To address these disparities, this research explored whether an inclusive approach is taken to encourage Disabled people to become foster carers. The two-year co-produced project was part of the Disability Research on Independent Living and Learning (DRILL) initiative, funded by the National Lot…
The use of private regulatory measures to create healthy food retail environments
Objective: Different forms of public and private regulation have been used to improve the healthiness of food retail environments. The aim of this scoping review was to systematically examine the types of private regulatory measures used to create healthy food retail environments, the reporting of the processes of implementation, monitoring, review and enforcement and the barriers to and enablers of these. Design: Scoping review using the Johanna…
Disabled people as foster carers – closing the recruitment gap and more
Recent Ofsted statistics for fostering in England show a steady decline in the number of approved fostering households, whereas the number of children needing foster homes has increased. To address this disparity, the present study explored the views of Disabled and Non-disabled foster carers regarding inclusivity within the foster care recruitment system. A two-year project was led by the University of Worcester, in co-production with Shaping Ou…
Taking on the Commercial Determinants of Health at the level of actors, practices and systems
Tackling the Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH) is necessary for progress on health equity and will determine whether or not the health-related targets of the SDGs are met. We present a simple visual heuristic of three core aspects of CDoH: commercial actors, commercial practices, and system-level dynamics (which commercial actors influence and perpetuate). We use this heuristic to highlight key research gaps, in particular the need for mor…
Fifty shades of partnerships
BACKGROUND: Multistakeholder collaboration has emerged as a dominant approach for engaging and mobilising non-state actors; notably embedded in the paradigm of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Yet, considerable ambiguity and contestation surrounds the appropriate terms of public private engagement (PPE) with industry actors. MAIN BODY: This paper seeks to conceptualise different forms of engagement with the food industry in tackling diet-rel…
Chocolate unicorns and smiling teddy biscuits
Objective: The use of food packaging as a vehicle for marketing to children is under investigated. Our objective was to determine the prevalence and types of child-directed promotional techniques used on food packaging in Australia. Design: Based on existing literature and regulations, we developed a framework to classify on-pack child-directed promotional techniques involving the use of characters and other elements that appeal to children. We a…
Trends in sugar content of non-alcoholic beverages in Australia between 2015 and 2019 during the operation of a voluntary industry pledge to reduce sugar content
Objectives: To investigate changes in mean sugar content of non-alcoholic beverages (overall and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB)) available for purchase in Australia and to compare signatories v . non-signatories of the Australian Beverages Council voluntary pledge from 2018 Design: Retrospective observational study. Setting: Australia. Participants: About 1500 non-alcoholic beverages per year included in the FoodSwitch Monitoring Datasets for 20…
Chapter 3 Our Only Sin Was Being Black
It has been over 25 years since Maria Franklin (1997b) asked, "Why are there so few black American archaeologists?" While low numbers can still be attributed to Black Americans choosing to pursue more lucrative careers, we must also understand that barriers instituted and perpetuated by racism also play a major factor. Through highlighting the experiences of archaeologists from John Wesley Gilbert (1863-1923) to contemporary professionals, the le…

Political parties and plural politics
The extent to which the emergence of political parties and multi-party elections mark the path to genuinely plural politics varies greatly. Conventional wisdom that multi-party democracy and free elections were both a good thing in their own right and formed a large part of establishing a functioning democracy has begun to be questioned not only by academics but by democratic support practitioners. Nevertheless, democracy remains 'the worst syste…
Designing a Healthy Food Partnership
The new Healthy Food Partnership has similar goals to the Dialogue. While highly laudable and recognised globally as cost-effective, the mechanism for delivery in Australia has been woefully inadequate. Strong government leadership, adequate funding, clear targets and timelines, management of conflict of interest, comprehensive monitoring and evaluation, and a plan for responsive regulation in the event of missed milestones will be required if th…
Nutrition labelling is a trade policy issue
Interpretive nutrition labels provide simplified nutrient-specific text and/or symbols on the front of pre-packaged foods, to encourage and enable consumers to make healthier choices. This type of labelling has been proposed as part of a comprehensive policy response to the global epidemic of non-communicable diseases. However, regulation of nutrition labelling falls under the remit of not just the health sector but also trade. Specific Trade Con…
About Time
"Where does all the time go? Despite the burgeoning army of machines designed to save us time - from cars and aeroplanes to dishwashers and microwaves - we don't seem to have any more of it on our hands. We simply fill the space we clear with more things to do - consuming more, spending more - and then look around for new ways of saving time. And so we spiral onwards, upwards, ever faster. Being busy has become a habit, and a habit that gives us …

Assessing potential environmental influences on killer whale ( Orcinus orca ) distribution patterns in the Bremer Canyon, south-west Australia
Submarine canyons play an important role in the regional distribution, abundance and dispersal of marine biota and are increasingly being recognised as geomorphic features of high conservation significance along Australia’s continental margin. Certain canyons have been described as foraging ‘hotspots’ attributable to the high abundance of apex cetacean species aggregating in these areas. Anecdotal evidence of large seasonal aggregations of killer…
Increasing the public health voice in global decision-making on nutrition labelling
To respond to the global noncommunicable disease (NCD) crisis, the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Codex), a multilateral United Nations body responsible for work on food standards, is developing global guidance for front of pack (FoP) nutrition labelling. Guidance from Codex regarding FoP nutrition labelling at the global level will almost certainly influence national policy making. This shift in Codex’s activities towards standards to address NC…
