High salt diets are a major ca...use of high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for death, and account for close to two-thirds of strokes and one-half of heart disease incidents worldwide. This project will address Latin America's high blood pressure rates through research that will strengthen and expand existing salt reduction programs. The project will also introduce new programs in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Paraguay, and Peru. Sodium reduction policy options The Costa Rican Institute of Research and Teaching in Nutrition and Health's A. Blanco Metzler will lead the project. Metzler is working on an IDRC-funded project on salt reduction. The research team will identify public policy innovations for sodium reduction in food systems in the five project countries. The goal is to promote healthy diets that are lower in sodium. The research team will -assess and compare sodium content of food in the five countries -analyze the health and economic benefits of population-wide sodium reduction -assess the drivers and barriers for consumers to change -develop social marketing strategies -evaluate the success indicators for initiatives and partnerships Knowledge translation and awareness Project results will help strengthen abilities in the governmental and non-governmental sectors to inform and influence policy change, while increasing consumer awareness in the region. The project team will leverage the research through the Pan American Health Organization's SaltSmart Consortium. It aims to reduce dietary salt intake across the Americas to levels of less than 5 grams per day, as recommended by the World Health Organization. This project includes a knowledge translation strategy that will promote optimal reach, uptake, and adoption of research findings. The strategy will also provide the basis for a broader application to healthy diets to help reduce non-communicable diseases in Latin America.

ENABLING CONSUMER-FRIENDLY FRO...NT-OF-PACKAGE NUTRITION LABELLING IN MERCOSUR COUNTRIES

Enabling consumer-friendly fro...nt-of-package nutrition labelling in MERCOSUR countries
more
|
Front-of-package (FOP) food la...bels have been recommended by the World Health Organization and public health experts worldwide as an effective measure to strengthen understanding of nutritional information and help consumers make healthy choices. This project, implemented in partnership with the Fundación Interamericana del Corazón-Argentina and the Brazilian Institute for Consumer Protection, will develop a sound evidence base for the promotion of effective FOP food labelling systems in Argentina and Brazil. The current political context presents an opportunity to move forward with policy discussions. However, interested stakeholders need to have a better understanding of the legal and economic implications under the current regional and international economic agreements in place. The aim of this multi-component research study is to promote effective evidence-based mandatory FOP food labelling systems in Brazil and Argentina, support policy discussions, and assess the factors affecting its adoption in other MERCOSUR countries (full members Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, suspended member Venezuela, and associate states Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru). This research will study the regulatory and policy frameworks, analyze to what extent gender dimensions are considered, assess the political facilitators and barriers affecting the introduction of a FOP labelling system, analyze the arguments used by superior legal courts of products that can pose risks to public health (such as tobacco or asbestos), and assess the arguments used by the food industry to hinder the promotion of FOP labelling. In Brazil, the national regulatory health agency is already considering novel FOP food labelling alternatives. In Argentina, the project team will work with strategic stakeholders to assess the most suitable FOP labelling system. The project will enable a process of inter-country and multi-actor collaboration and increase regional capacities in this domain. Expected research outcomes include: evidence-based legal and technical recommendations to promote FOP food labelling systems in the MERCOSUR countries, extrapolating legal arguments used in other public health cases for food labelling policy discussions, developing commonly-agreed counterarguments to those presented by the food industry in policy processes in the region, and the determination of the most suitable FOP labelling system in Argentina.

Planning a Regional Community ...of Practice on Food Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean

Despite advancements related t...o hunger and undernutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), obesity and other malnutrition problems have risen in the past decades. More than 50% of the region's adult population is overweight and 23% is obese. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of death in almost every country in the region. Unhealthy changes in the population's diet during recent decades are considered a key determinant of these trends. Between 2000 and 2013, annual sales per capita of ultra-processed products increased steadily in LAC. Confronted by these facts, an increasing number of regional academic and civil society organizations and professionals are developing new evidence and raising awareness for the promotion of healthier diets and policies and regulations that shape the food environment for consumers. Based on the results of a workshop organized in 2017 by the Brazilian Institute for Consumers' Defense, a sub-team was convened to develop a regional strategy aiming to strengthen the field of research and promote a community of practice on healthy food systems for NCD prevention. This project will support initial planning and engagement for the establishment of this community of practice, involving inter-country collaborations on priority themes. It will explore links with researchers from Africa and Asia and assess the feasibility of involving regional players interested in applying ecosystem approaches to more sustainable food systems. The community of practice is expected to strengthen regional capacities; share and develop new methods, tools, and experiences; and promote evidence-based policies for healthier food systems in LAC.

THE IMPACT OF TOBACCO PRICING ...AND PACKAGING STRATEGIES IN MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES

|
The impact of tobacco pricing ...and packaging strategies in middle-income countries
more
|
International evidence, primar...ily from high-income countries, has clearly shown that higher cigarette prices reduce tobacco use, with greater reductions among young people and those from socio-economically disadvantaged groups. There is also a growing body of evidence that has observed positive impacts of plain packaging measures, especially in high-income country settings. However, the same cannot be concluded for low- and middle-income countries. Reviews that looked at how tobacco prices or taxes affected smoking in these countries did not produce conclusive evidence due to pervasive data and methodological limitations among reviewed studies. To fill these gaps and respond to the policymakers' demand for this evidence, this project will study the impact of tobacco prices on smoking onset, consumption, and cessation in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, South Africa, and Vietnam. The effects of both tax and retail price will be further analyzed according to their effect by socioeconomic status, sex, and age, with simulations to determine the ultimate impacts on tax revenue, tobacco use, and health outcomes. Additionally, the impact of cigarette packaging and major recent country-specific policy changes will be analyzed. These analyses will also provide improved understanding of women's and girls' responsiveness to tobacco control measures. This knowledge is especially important to address the marketing strategies targeting vulnerable groups in low- and middle-income countries. Cross-border and cross-regional comparisons between countries with differing socioeconomic inequalities and policy environments will enhance the relevance of the findings to a wide variety of markets and strengthen the case for change when these countries review their policies.This project was selected for funding under the Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases' Lung Disease Call 2016, and is being parallel-funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and IDRC. The two Canadian institutions jointly designed their call to focus exclusively on tobacco control, disease prevention, and health equity, which are development priorities for both.

ECONOMICS OF TOBACCO CONTROL R...ESEARCH INITIATIVE: OPERATING COSTS FOR CAPACITY BUILDING
more
|
Economics of tobacco control r...esearch initiative: Operating costs for capacity building
more
|
Fiscal policies (primarily tax...ation) for tobacco control have been widely recognized as the most effective measures to curb tobacco consumption and prevent tobacco-related diseases. They also have the effect of reducing household poverty and increasing national revenues. However, most low and middle-income countries (LMICs) have not effectively implemented such policies to date. Common barriers include competing health and development priorities and a lack of knowledge about country or region specific health and economic burdens related to tobacco, and the potential benefits of appropriate policies. Industry opposition and commonly-held (but misinformed) beliefs about the economic benefits of the tobacco industry also present barriers to tobacco control policy in many LMICs. Through this initiative, Cancer Research UK and IDRC aim to address the development challenges posed by tobacco use in LMICs. The countries where research will be carried out will be determined through the competitive research call process. By supporting research on the economics of tobacco control in LMICs, this five-year initiative will allow the generation of the local evidence that is acutely needed to implement fiscal and policy solutions for effective tobacco control. Beyond the generation of evidence, this initiative will support collaborations between multiple institutions within countries or regions to enable research teams to actively engage in policy dialogue and policymaking processes. Local evidence will provide the context-specific information and tools needed to help countries leap forward with tobacco-control policy and contribute to SDG targets with respect to health and economic empowerment. This project will cover the human resource cost of a full-time senior program officer to manage the project, and associated travel and office costs over the course of the five-year initiative. The staff under the initiative will be responsible for the delivery and monitoring of the research projects selected through the competitive call, as well as communications about the initiative, and reporting to the governance committee.

|
Technical Review Committee for... Economics of Tobacco research call
more
|
This project will support the ...creation of a Technical Review Committee to provide scientific expertise to the Economics of Tobacco Control Research Initiative of Cancer Research UK and IDRC. The committee will conduct an arms-length, merit-based review of concept notes received through the program's first competitive call for concept notes, which closed in December 2017. It is anticipated that the initiative will initially fund at least three research grants for momentum-building projects worth between CA$100,000 and CA$300,000, and three consortium research grants worth between CA$600,000 and CA$1,000,000. Support for high-quality research projects funded through this call will form the central programming thrust of IDRC's contribution to tobacco control research. The initiative has committed to a rigorous peer-reviewed selection process. This will help identify high-quality concept notes with strong potential for achieving program impact at scale. This can potentially provide opportunities for other donor partners to contribute additional funding if there are sufficient high-quality proposals requiring funding over and above the budget available through the current initiative. IDRC is seeking external technical support for this merit review process because the economics of tobacco control is a highly focused research area.

The Food, Environment, and Hea...lth program (FEH) aims to develop evidence, innovations, and policies to improve health, build healthier and more sustainable food systems, and prevent non-communicable and infectious diseases. The program invests in knowledge and innovation for large-scale positive change to enable solutions that improve the health of millions of people, particularly women and children. Currently in its 4th year of the 5-year programming cycle, the program aims to consolidate its learning and results to inform its end-of cycle evaluation and the next phase of programming. This Research Support Project will support the synthesis of lessons learnt, strategic programming decisions, and FEH's program results to date. Activities will include facilitating team reflection on FEH programming decisions and results, producing four thematic synthesis briefs on Food systems, Infectious diseases, Tobacco Control and the Economics of Non-Communicable Diseases, developing communication products such as infographics, stories of changes pieces, etc.

BUILDING SCHOLARSHIP TO GUIDE ...DECISIONS AND GOVERNANCE FOR INTERACTIONS BETWEEN PUBLIC HEALTH AND CORPORATE ACTORS

Building scholarship to guide ...decisions and governance for interactions between public health and corporate actors
more
|
Recently, discussions about co...llaboration and partnerships between public and private sector actors have entered the global health discourse, particularly to help deliver results towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. For instance, the food and beverage industry has become an active player in this conversation and has suggested that they should play a greater role in promoting the consumption of healthy foods and beverages. This is also evidenced by an increase in corporate activities that aim to shape or influence global food systems through lobbying, marketing, corporate social responsibility initiatives, and funding scientific research. In parallel, public health researchers and practitioners are weighing the advantages and disadvantages of support and funding from the corporate sector. This has led to a growing interest by public health professionals to document, understand, and address concerns about governance, ethics, and conflicts of interest that may arise during interactions between public health actors and corporations. In response, the Governance, Ethics, and Conflicts of Interest in Public Health Network (GECI-PH) was established as a research and action network to examine the benefits and challenges in engaging with commercial sector actors, and to promote institutional safeguards and measures that protect public health goals in research, professional practice, and policymaking.This project, implemented by the American University of Beirut, will support GECI-PH to develop locally grounded but globally relevant learnings on this topic, and to advocate for more robust, transparent and accountable scientific research and public health policymaking. Through this project, evidence-based recommendations for researchers, donors, and policymakers will be produced in peer-reviewed publications and shared via a global online knowledge-sharing and collaboration platform. Finally, a sustainable Southern-led network of practice will be established to support collaboration of public health actors from Africa, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe on the conceptual development and application of the commercial determinants of health in research and professional practice.

Tobacco Control Research Schol...arships in Africa

Tobacco use is one of the main... risk factors for the rapidly growing non-communicable disease (NCD) burden in low- and middle-income countries. The Centre for Tobacco Control in Africa (CTCA), based at Makerere University in Uganda, serves as a regional centre, providing tools and evidence to support tobacco control policies and programs in Africa. Locally generated data is critical to addressing the barriers to adopting effective evidence-based strategies. This project aims to enhance local research skills and knowledge to ensure that evidence is generated locally. The funding will provide scholarships to master's students in schools of public health, economics, agriculture, environment, and other disciplines related to tobacco control. Five annual research scholarships will be offered at six universities over a period of three years: - Makerere University (Uganda) - Muhimbili University (Tanzania) - Moi University (Kenya) - University of Nairobi (Kenya) - National University of Rwanda - Jimma University College of Medicine and Public Health (Ethiopia) The universities are part of the Health Alliance, an alliance of public health schools that fosters long-term partnerships within public health schools in the region. The CTCA and Makerere University will manage the scholarship program and share the knowledge that the students' projects generate. The overall goal of this project is to provide African governments with locally produced evidence that informs tobacco control policy and legislation.

Food Marketing targeted to kid...s: A collaborative and policy-oriented study in Argentina, Bolivia, Guatemala and Peru
more
|
The global rise of childhood o...besity has been dramatic. Overweight and obesity conditions in children negatively affect their progressive physical development and are a predisposing risk factor for non-communicable diseases. The prevalence of childhood obesity varies globally, regionally and between genders and vulnerable groups. Increasing rates of overweight and obesity in children have been documented in many countries of Latin American. One recognized key factor contributing to an obesity-promoting environment is food advertising targeting children. Children's exposure to targeted food and beverage advertisements has increased both in scope and frequency, as traditional channels of delivery, such as radio and television, have been supplemented by tailored, targeted advertising on various media via the internet. This project aims to strengthen efforts in Latin America to curb marketing of unhealthy food marketing targeting children with a focus on Argentina, Guatemala, Bolivia, and Peru. The research will build understanding of factors that positively or negatively influence children's food consumption patterns, including their susceptibility to food marketing. An improved understanding of protective and risk factors will inform the design of policies and interventions to empower youth to improve their food consumption and better interpret food marketing. The combined effect of consumer empowerment and policy enhancement will help to address a major determinant of overweight and obesity in adolescents in Latin America.

Readiness to Adopt Food Relate...d Non-Communicable Disease Prevention Policies in Africa

Increasing consumption of unhe...althy diets is fuelling the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Fiscal and policy interventions for addressing diet-related NCDs such as increased taxation on Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) have been endorsed by the global health community as being highly cost-effective. There are however significant challenges associated with the adoption and implementation of such interventions due to their inherent nature in politics and the economy. To establish a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape in which policies for NCDs are developed and implemented, this project proposes a landscape analysis in a subset of Eastern (Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya) and Southern African (Botswana, Namibia and Zambia) countries. The aim of the project is to assess the existing and required evidence on the potential benefits of NCD-related fiscal and policy interventions, and an assessment of the challenges for their possible adoption. Understanding the nature of the burden of disease, data constraints, relevant politico-economic factors, key actors and the existing policy environment will help to develop feasible, specific and targeted evidence for the adoption of fiscal and policy interventions that are tailored to the context of each country. The work will be led by researchers at PRICELESS SA (Priority Cost Effective Lessons for System Strengthening South Africa) unit of the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. They will collaborate with in-country researchers based at economic policy research think-tanks or academic institutions in each of the seven participating countries. The primary desired research outcomes will be; 1) increased understanding of whether diet-related NCD prevention policies would be necessary and suitable; 2) increased understanding of the feasibility of implementing these policies; and country and context specific public health recommendations on fiscal and policy interventions for prevention of diet-related NCD.

Alcohol Control and Harm Reduc...tion Policies in Lebanon
more
|
Alcohol is the world's third l...argest risk factor for disease and disability and a major contributor to more than 60 diseases. In Lebanon, alcohol use among youth is of particular concern. While local epidemiological data suggest that alcohol use among high school and university students is on the rise, the prevention of harmful alcohol use is not high on the national agenda. Lebanon's alcohol control policies are weak, outdated, and poorly enforced. Currently alcohol prices are low (with very low excise taxes) and illegal sales to minors are high. This research project aims to generate scientific evidence to inform the development, reform, and implementation of effective alcohol control policies in Lebanon. It will involve a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies, including content analysis of existing policy, a quantitative cross-sectional survey, and a discrete choice experiment. Findings will document the current national alcohol policy and identify the direct and indirect influences of policy-relevant factors and psychosocial mediators on alcohol consumption and purchasing. Researchers will also assess the potential impact of specific alcohol-control policy packages. The results should help to identify an optimum policy approach most likely to influence alcohol consumption behaviours among youth. Project findings will be publicly shared, with the aim of spurring national dialogue and momentum toward policy reform.

Despite advancements related t...o hunger and undernutrition in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), obesity and other malnutrition problems have risen in the past decades. More than 50% of the region's adult population is overweight and 23% is obese. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are among the leading causes of death in almost every country in the region. Unhealthy changes in the population's diet during recent decades are considered a key determinant of these trends. Between 2000 and 2013, annual sales per capita of ultra-processed products increased steadily in LAC. Confronted by these facts, an increasing number of regional academic and civil society organizations and professionals are developing new evidence and raising awareness for the promotion of healthier diets and policies and regulations that shape the food environment for consumers. Based on the results of a workshop organized in 2017 by the Brazilian Institute for Consumers' Defense, a sub-team was convened to develop a regional strategy aiming to strengthen the field of research and promote a community of practice on healthy food systems for NCD prevention. This project will support initial planning and engagement for the establishment of this community of practice, involving inter-country collaborations on priority themes. It will explore links with researchers from Africa and Asia and assess the feasibility of involving regional players interested in applying ecosystem approaches to more sustainable food systems. The community of practice is expected to strengthen regional capacities; share and develop new methods, tools, and experiences; and promote evidence-based policies for healthier food systems in LAC.

Readiness to Adopt Food Relate...d Non-Communicable Disease Prevention Policies in Africa

Increasing consumption of unhe...althy diets is fuelling the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) across Sub-Saharan Africa. Fiscal and policy interventions for addressing diet-related NCDs such as increased taxation on Sugar Sweetened Beverages (SSBs) have been endorsed by the global health community as being highly cost-effective. There are however significant challenges associated with the adoption and implementation of such interventions due to their inherent nature in politics and the economy. To establish a comprehensive understanding of the political landscape in which policies for NCDs are developed and implemented, this project proposes a landscape analysis in a subset of Eastern (Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya) and Southern African (Botswana, Namibia and Zambia) countries. The aim of the project is to assess the existing and required evidence on the potential benefits of NCD-related fiscal and policy interventions, and an assessment of the challenges for their possible adoption. Understanding the nature of the burden of disease, data constraints, relevant politico-economic factors, key actors and the existing policy environment will help to develop feasible, specific and targeted evidence for the adoption of fiscal and policy interventions that are tailored to the context of each country. The work will be led by researchers at PRICELESS SA (Priority Cost Effective Lessons for System Strengthening South Africa) unit of the School of Public Health, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. They will collaborate with in-country researchers based at economic policy research think-tanks or academic institutions in each of the seven participating countries. The primary desired research outcomes will be; 1) increased understanding of whether diet-related NCD prevention policies would be necessary and suitable; 2) increased understanding of the feasibility of implementing these policies; and country and context specific public health recommendations on fiscal and policy interventions for prevention of diet-related NCD.

CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION A...ND IMPROVED NUTRITION THROUGH FARM-TO-SCHOOL FOOD SYSTEMS IN CENTRAL AMERICA

Childhood obesity prevention a...nd improved nutrition through farm-to-school food systems in Central America
more
|
This project, implemented in c...ollaboration with the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama, aims to reduce obesity and micronutrient deficiencies in school-aged children in Central America through innovative food system interventions that improve the supply and demand of fruits and vegetables in public schools. Applied research will be conducted in selected schools of the two capital cities of Guatemala and Costa Rica to assess the supply side of the value chain. It will then develop and pilot-test an integrated intervention to improve children's diets in school and at home. Research on the supply side aims to increase the affordability, variety, and quality of fresh and minimally processed fruit and vegetable products. The demand-side component intends to increase consumption of fruits and vegetables and reduce the intake of energy-dense snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages. The overall purpose is to influence dietary behaviours of children and create supportive environments for healthy eating. The intervention's effectiveness will be evaluated to shape policies and programs that support future scaling-up activities in the region. A life cycle assessment will examine health, environmental, and social effects associated with the needed improvements in the food supply chain to schools. Increased demand for healthy foods will be evaluated by comparing dietary outcomes in intervention schools with control schools in both cities, before and after the intervention. The main expected outcomes include changes in healthy eating knowledge and attitudes of children, levels of consumption of fruits and vegetables, purchase and intake of highly processed foods and sugary drinks, and dietary behaviours at school and home. Gender equity will guide the design and implementation of project activities, and sex-disaggregated analyses will be used in assessing dietary outcomes. The project will also identify barriers and incentives of the Costa Rican school food services policy and its influence on supply and demand of fruits and vegetables when compared to Guatemala, where no such policy exists.

|
High salt diets are a major ca...use of high blood pressure, a leading risk factor for death, and account for close to two-thirds of strokes and one-half of heart disease incidents worldwide. This project will address Latin America's high blood pressure rates through research that will strengthen and expand existing salt reduction programs. The project will also introduce new programs in Argentina, Brazil, Costa Rica, Paraguay, and Peru. Sodium reduction policy options The Costa Rican Institute of Research and Teaching in Nutrition and Health's A. Blanco Metzler will lead the project. Metzler is working on an IDRC-funded project on salt reduction. The research team will identify public policy innovations for sodium reduction in food systems in the five project countries. The goal is to promote healthy diets that are lower in sodium. The research team will -assess and compare sodium content of food in the five countries -analyze the health and economic benefits of population-wide sodium reduction -assess the drivers and barriers for consumers to change -develop social marketing strategies -evaluate the success indicators for initiatives and partnerships Knowledge translation and awareness Project results will help strengthen abilities in the governmental and non-governmental sectors to inform and influence policy change, while increasing consumer awareness in the region. The project team will leverage the research through the Pan American Health Organization's SaltSmart Consortium. It aims to reduce dietary salt intake across the Americas to levels of less than 5 grams per day, as recommended by the World Health Organization. This project includes a knowledge translation strategy that will promote optimal reach, uptake, and adoption of research findings. The strategy will also provide the basis for a broader application to healthy diets to help reduce non-communicable diseases in Latin America.
