WORKSHOP 1:
Supporting the sustained implementation of chronic disease prevention initiatives in community settings
Date: Tuesday 30 April
Time: 11:00am - 12:30pm ACST
Facilitated by:
-
Dr Adam Shoesmith, Post Doctoral Research Fellow, University of Newcastle
-
Associate Professor Nicole Nathan, MRFF Investigator Fellow, Hunter New England Population Health
-
Ms Carly Gardner, PhD Student, University of Newcastle
Description: Food retail environments drive food choices, with evidence supporting in-store strategies modifying product availability, placement and promotion being effective in reducing sales of unhealthy foods. Many remote stores in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities have community-led governance structures, providing communities with the power to initiate change within their own food environment. This workshop draws on the experience and learnings in co-designing a continuous improvement initiative to drive health-enabling remote food retail environments through monitoring, action planning and evaluation, to improve nutrition and health in remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Aim: The primary objective of this workshop is to share knowledge to facilitate scale-up of evidence-based strategies with remote store owners/managers in shaping health-enabling remote food retail environments. This workshop is designed to support community leaders and store owners (including directors elected by their community), researchers, policy-makers, nutrition and health professionals to continue to seek innovative solutions to improve population diet in remote communities.
Format: To achieve this goal, the workshop will feature a series of concise case studies on: governance of remote stores and how to apply this knowledge in practice, the impact of nutrition policy for creating healthy food retail environments, and innovative evidence-based tools designed to support monitoring and measurement of health-enabling practices. Following these case studies, there will be roundtable discussions and a hands-on workshop where attendees will work in small groups to share and learn practical insights into the methods and approaches required to successfully drive health-enabling remote food retail.
