We can’t fix online marketing overnight but we know what needs to be done & have a tobacco act as a model that could be emulated for other sectors (not voluntary). We should also fix an online ad model that thrives in a evolving harmful information ecosystem. #Prevention2025 @kbackholer.bsky.social
💡 In public health we often consider power in the sense of power ‘over’ but as a sector we have enormous potential if we lean into the concepts of power ‘with’, power ‘to’ and power ‘despite’. - Anne Marie Thow

We have a window of opportunity for public health actors to engage in international trade & investment debates, eg around food. To do this we need to understand & navigate alternative policy paradigms incl through knowledge, legitimacy & public priorities. - Anne Marie Thow
#Prevention2025
Commercial determinants of health #CDOH are broader than naming products that harm, it’s also less visible ways they operate, incl. through trade & investment policy, incl. at international level, using tactics to ‘chill’ & lobby for specific policy. Anne Marie Thow @sydney.edu.au #Prevention2025
Gambling operators aren’t the only ones benefiting in the gambling ecosystem.
Charles Livingstone encourages everyone to think broader when mapping stakeholders, to better understand why and how they interact and influence problem definitions and (enable/obstruct) policy responses. #Prevention2025
We must fix a distorting #gambling paradigm - ‘problem gambling’ & ‘problem gamblers’ are closely linked to the flawed concept of ‘responsible gambling’ - which blames victims, delays & dilutes regulatory responses.
#Prevention2025

In declaring funding and affiliations before presenting, Charles Livingstone @monashuniversity.bsky.social notes that gambling is nowhere near the list and that:
“We need to stop taking money from the people contaminating the evidence.”
(Same goes for alcohol, UPFs, etc)

What does potassium enriched salt look and taste like?
Ask Terry Slevin, @publichealthaus.bsky.social who received a jar of a faux-Himalayan version from Bruce Neal @georgeinstitute.bsky.social.
Updates requested.
#Prevention2025
Most discretionary salt (~50%) consumed around the world is from salt *added during cooking & at the table*.
Ultra processed food is only one part the wider picture.
Sodium discussions & solutions must take a wide view of dietary sources.
Bruce Neal, @georgeinstitute.bsky.social #Prevention2025
A practical & pragmatic way to reduce sodium intake is replacing table salt with low sodium, potassium enriched salt, says Bruce Neal, @georgeinstitute.bsky.social.
It’s a very promising intervention, but needs to be navigated carefully.
#Prevention2025
Bruce Neal from @georgeinstitute.bsky.social:
The world eats too much salt.
Why does it matter?
High sodium diets contribute to high blood pressure.
Hypertension is a risk factor for NCDs incl. stroke, cardiovascular & kidney diseases.
But reducing sodium intake is proving hard.

Climate change is a big issue for young people, 2nd only to cost of living. This is an opportunity to promote the interplay of planetary health & health behaviours e.g.

What are we willing to give up in order to move forward? Parting question from Renee Williams on challenging systems & building solutions in Indigenous health.
If we dont get it right now we'll have another generation asking how we've failed our Indigenous people #prevention2025 #indigenoushealth
Restock with what's most useful and part with the redundant in our metaphorical toolbox. Allow ourselves to be led by our humanity.
Beautiful words from Fiona Cornforth on challenging and building solutions in Indigenous health. #prevention2025 #indigenoushealth
On grappling with resistance to change, Fiona Cornworth, ANU, suggests:
“slow down to speed up”.
Take time to lay the groundwork, gat ducks in order, then move forward.

💯: If you don’t innovate, and look at changing the way you are doing things, you will never change the outcome.

Thanks to the community leadership embedded in the development & implementation of the Tackling Indigenous Smoking initiative, since 2004 23,000 lives have been saved & there are almost 50,000 fewer daily smokers. It’s a demonstrable success. - Prof Tom Calma. #Prevention2025

Three action packed days at #Prevention2025 conference in #Canberra. With the theme ‘Prevention is Political’, it is all about how public health priorities must sit at the centre of every policy decision making! 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻
How are the major parties tracking on commitments to First Nations’ priorities?
