Policy Report

The Second Expert Report features personal recommendations for people as well as goals for the population as a whole. But setting these targets is just one step. Equally important is understanding how to achieve them successfully.

A companion publication to the Second Expert Report addresses why people practice particular eating and physical eating habits over a lifetime. And it looks at the success of implementing policies and actions that may change those behaviours.

This companion Policy Report, entitled Policy and Action for Cancer Prevention, provides advice and guidance on what can be done to influence and change the lifestyle choices that people make, as they relate to their risk of cancer.

A Brazilian Policy Report Executive Summary, in Portugese, has been published in collaboration with the Brazilian National Cancer Institute (INCA). A Latin American Regional Summary, in Spanish, has been published in collaboration with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO). Several other country and region specific Policy Report Executive Summaries are currently in development. These will contain key information from the Policy Report while incorporating country or region specific context for the evidence examples and recommendations in particular.
