Today, along with our partners at Alcohol Health Alliance UK and Obesity Health Alliance we’re launching a new toolkit to help regional and local authorities to tackle harms from alcohol and unhealthy food and drink, learning from successful tobacco policy. We’ve worked with local leaders across Greater Manchester and Humber and North Yorkshire to develop a framework of actions to protect residents from unhealthy commercial environments. Five high impact actions, applied coherently across alcohol and unhealthy food and drink, as they have been for tobacco, can make all the difference: 🥕 Regulate advertising – to prevent promotion of unhealthy products 🚭 Shape use and environment – to reduce availability 🆓 Influence price and affordability – to influence purchasing and consumption decisions 📢 Communicate health messages - to inform of risks and benefits 🩺 Provide treatment - to those at risk of harm Find out more about how you can take this approach forward in your own area in our Three Biggest Killers Regional Toolkit. https://lnkd.in/eM3yCn5m
