The new Obesity Reviews, published today, presents a set of novel methods used by the CO-CREATE project to give young people a voice in policy and research as part of efforts to take a more systems-based approach to childhood obesity prevention. This is complemented by papers presenting a set of new tools developed to benchmark national policy action on physical activity and nutrition.
World Cancer Research Fund International, in collaboration with the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, worked to develop novel methods for monitoring, benchmarking, and evaluating relevant policies. Three papers were written on the processes and challenges of benchmarking national government action on nutrition and physical activity across Europe, using the NOURISHING and MOVING databases and indexes.
The findings of the NOURISHING and MOVING policy indexes will be launched in during 2 webinars in March 2023.
