STOP Project Factsheets: Transferring knowledge for better children’s health

NewsSTOP Project Factsheets: Transferring knowledge for better children’s health

The STOP EU-funded project recently released eight factsheets to communicate work package (WP) research in an accessible and appealing format for the range of STOP beneficiaries.

To aid this goal, research has been summarised and communicated in a lay language format, with relevant images to enhance the impact. The overall purpose is to ensure research from each package extends beyond academic disciplinary boundaries, as well as providing a channel to engage and empower civil society. It is important that all beneficiaries can learn from STOP findings and improve their knowledge to act for better children’s health.  

STOP Project

The factsheets mirror the WP research themes and cover:

  • Measuring childhood obesity, disparities and geographical variations,
  • Key determinants of childhood obesity,
  • Fiscal policies, labelling and marketing restrictions for the prevention of childhood obesity,
  • Influencing food choices for the prevention of childhood obesity,
  • Influencing food environments for the prevention of childhood obesity,
  • The role of physical activity in the prevention of childhood obesity,
  • Interventions for childhood obesity in healthcare settings, and
  • Multi-stakeholder engagement for effective childhood obesity policy. 

The factsheets have been promoted on social media and through targeted mailings in conjunction with the European Public Health Alliance, and can be accessed and downloaded here. They will also be able to be accessed from our youth engagement site, Healthy Voices, in due course.
