12 Advocacy Targets set for Overweight and Obesity

In 2008 the PHAIWA organised an Obesity Forum attended by approximately 140 professionals from public health and related areas to discuss the development of agreed priority areas for advocacy on obesity in WA.  To progress the outcomes we recently convened a workshop with a smaller group of experts from organisations with which we work to distil these down further. The result of the workshop was agreement on 12 Advocacy Targets for Overweight and Obesity.
