Download the 2019 reports for Australia and each state and territory assessing the extent to which each jurisdiction is implementing globally recommended obesity policies, and priority actions for each government.
Professors Helena Teede and Louise Baur have spent their careers addressing child obesity from very different perspectives. They chat to host Gretchen Miller about what needs to be done.
Diabetes in pregnancy is putting increasing strain on the ACT’s health system. Our dynamic simulation model reinforces the long-term benefits for women and their children of taking action to prevent this condition.
This project was the first in Australia to develop a dynamic simulation model to forecast the population health implications of smoking behaviour on COPD over the next 50 years. It found longer and more frequent quit attempts will lead to less COPD among smokers in future. Download the Findings Brief to learn the relevance of this project for policy and practice.
This rapid review identifies schemes implemented in Australia and internationally to focus efforts of the food services sector to improve the healthiness of the menu choices or nutrition information for customers.
The review explores whole-of-population prevention interventions that are most effective in slowing the growth in obesity and preventing significant modifiable risk factors for chronic disease.
Dynamic simulation modelling tools provide policy makers with a unique ‘what if’ tool to test the likely impact of a range of possible solutions before implementing them in the real world.
Visiting Canadian experts Professor Diane Finegood and Dr Bev Holmes co-presented a webinar on practical strategies to mobilise knowledge in complex systems.
