Love @allendersteve’s approach to supporting healthier diets “we meet the community wherever they are… if we want this to be a healthier place for kids to live, what does it need to look like… let’s make healthy easy and normal” #NationalHealthCheck

Creating communities free of harmful unhealthy food marketing should be a priority for governments. 'If it was smoking you wouldn't think twice about it.' @MagdaSzubanski #nationalhealthcheck #FoodFight #brandsoffourkids

Including community in #SystemsDynamics and #GroupModelBuilding increases engagement and collaboration. Read how it was used to address water and sugar-sweetened beverage consumption rdcu.be/cVlfe @IHT_Deakin @abrownmsw @KristyABolton @prfraser @allendersteve

Deadly news! Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander kids in VIC get a good amount of nutrition, sleep and exercise and don't eat too much takeaway foods and drink sugary drinks. We partnered with @IHT_Deakin to launch the ADAPT Report. More details here: vaccho.org.au/adapt
Together with @VACCHO_org, we're thrilled to launch the Aboriginal Data and Action on Prevention Together (ADAPT) Report. The report summarises findings from a recent IHT @GLOBE_obesity study, which surveyed approx. 3000 primary school children in Victoria. (1/3)
