SUMMARY:Addressing Inequities in Childhood Obesity Hui
DESCRIPTION:A half-day hui on childhood obesity for the public health sector and policy makers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nA Cancer Research Week Hui co-hosted by Cancer Society Auckland Northland and Hāpai te Hauora. \nThis hui features renowned international and national experts who explore the complex nature of childhood obesity. They will examine how disproportionately affects high needs populations; the obesogenic environment; and effective strategies to combat this growing public health challenge. \nIt is brought to you as part of Cancer Research Week\, which in 2018 is focused on cancer prevention. \nCancer affects more than a million New Zealanders and is the single largest cause of death in Aotearoa\, New Zealand. And yet more than 30% cancer cases are preventable. \nObesity is one of the key preventable risk factors for cancer\, along with smoking and alcohol. It is directly linked with 11 different types of cancer as well as other diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. In fact\, obesity is set to overtake smoking as the leading risk factor for cancer. \nHowever\, there are effective prevention strategies available to reduce the prevalence of obesity and the harm it causes. \nAt this half-day hui\, you will hear from: \n\nProfessor Anna Peeters\, an international obesity expert\, who will explore effective strategies to address obesity and inequities.\nKaupapa Māori approaches (speaker to be confirmed).\n\n\nHealthy Auckland Together (HAT) on a collaborative approach to address obesity.\nProfessor Louise Signal on marketing: New Zealand children exposing their obesogenic world.\nDr Gerhard Sundborn on the impact of sugary drinks on Māori and Pacific communities.\nProfessor Boyd Swinburn on obesogenic environments and priorities to reduce obesity and inequities.\nA facilitated discussion on priorities for policy change and action to reduce obesity and inequities.\n\nThis hui is free to attend and lunch is provided. Places are strictly limited to 60 attendees. Please register to secure your place. Click the green register button at the top of this page to complete the form. \nFor more information please contact the Cancer Society Auckland Northland on smokefree@akcansoc.org.nz \nAbout the Speakers: \nProfessor Anna Peeters \nAnna Peeters is Professor of Epidemiology and Equity in Public Health and Head of Obesity and Population Health at the School of Health and Social Development at Deakin University\, Melbourne. \nShe is a public health researcher\, particularly interested in the provision of information to facilitate objective and equitable choices in public health by policy makers\, practitioners and the public. \nProfessor Peeters is also on the council of the Australia New Zealand Obesity Society (ANZOS\, President 2011-14\, Chair ASM 2015)\, and on advisory boards and steering committees for the Parent’s Jury\, the Victorian government’s Equity Focused Health Impact Assessment advisory group and the WorkHealth advisory group.
