How to influence government nutrition policy: a conceptual model

What is it about?

The conceptual model described in this paper has been developed through the synthesis of three previous studies together with political science policy process theory. It is designed to be used by poorly-resourced organisations in high-income, democratic countries to increase their influence in public health nutrition policymaking.

Why is it important?

This model is important as it's intended to inform and guide the way advocates understand nutrition policymaking in order to increase their influence over it. Our research and the literature highlight that by undertaking as many of these strategies as resources permit, and the more coordinated the approach, the more likely advocates will be to influence positive policy change.
