Obesity prevention policies case studies
Excise taxes on sugar sweetened beverages and energy-dense foods
(Mexico)
Trans fatty acids removal from processed foods
(Argentina)
Front-of-package food label legislation
(Chile and Ecuador)
Ciclovías recreativas or ‘open streets’
(Several LA Cities)

Methods
• Obesity prevention policies case studies
• Developed with an expert in the specific policy
• Policies selected based on level of implementation, visibility and potential impact to reduce childhood obesity
• Case studies coded to identify components that explained successful implementation and sustainability using the Complex Adaptive Health Systems framework (Paina & Peters 2012)
• Iterative consensus process among co-authors
7
Key milestones
• 2013: Senate approval
• 2014: Tax implemented
• MX$1 per liter
• Non-alcoholic SSBs
• Findings
• MX$18 billion from SSB tax revenue in 2014
• Soda price & consumption (INSP 2015)
Why taxes?
• Evidence informed policy
− e.g., tobacco experience
• Time bound congressional process for
fiscal packages
• Public pays attention to taxes
• Fast implementation with short term
results
• Evidence-based advocacy
− Lobbying; mass media campaigns
• Engagement from Ministry of
Finances
• Political support
SSB‟s Tax- Mexico
• Policy Research
− INSP (SSB‟s price elasticity; SSB‟s-
obesity/diabetes models)
• Data driven policy statements
− INSP
− Academy of Medicine
Enabling factors
8
Key milestones
• 2007: First bill introduced
• 2012: Congress approves law
• 2015: Implementation policy
developed
• 2016: Implementation starts
Why FL & advertising?
• Evidence informed policies
− FL use associated with improved
dietary quality (Pérez-Escamilla)
− Marketing to children influences
unhealthy food and beverage
consumption in children (IOM)
• Political champion
• Academic champion
• Civil society champion
• High level political support
Food Labeling & Advertising Law- Chile
• Compromise with food
industry
− FOP label
− Infant formula marketing
− Junk food at universities
Enabling factors
9
Key milestones
− 2004: Voluntary reduction
− 2006: Mandatory FL
− 2006: Multisectoral dialogue
− 2010: Targets and timeline set
− 2014: New regulation enforced
− 2015: Monitoring of regulation implementation by
Argentina‟s FDA
Why TFA elimination?
• Evidence informed
− Industrial TFA‟s cause CHD
− Industrial TFA‟s concentrate in processed
foods
− Oils and fats produced by just a few
companies in Argentina
• Technically feasible (international experience,
e.g. Denmark)
• Academic champion (data)
• Government
• Food industry & distributors
• Universities & scientific societies
Trans Fatty Acids elimination- Argentina
• Predictive model of CHD savings as a
result of policy implementation
• sensitivity analysis
Enabling factors
10
Key milestones
• 1970: First ciclovia in Bogota • 2015: More than 100 km of car-free
streets − Sunday event: one million people
Why “ciclovias recreativas” (CRs)?
• Evidence informed
− Sedentarism causes premature disability and
death
− Car traffic/congestion causes pollution and
high stress levels
− Builds social capital
• Technically feasible
• 350 CRs in the Americas
• Strong public support
− Reaction to car-centered urban development
− Attractive to politicians
− Mayor‟s
•
Ciclovias Recreativas- Colombia
• Cost-effectiveness studies − LA and beyond
• Program process evaluations − Recommended PA program along the CR
corridor
Enabling factors
11
Cross-cutting Enabling Factors
• Champions
• Evidence based advocacy
• Political will & support
• Legislative process
• Intersectorial dialogue/coordination
• Strong representation from civil society
• Research & Evaluation (i.e. data)

Feedback loops occur when an output of a process within the system is fed back as an input into the same system. A
central feature of al case-studies reviewed was the importance of overcoming or preventing onset of negative
feedback loops or “resistance” with positive feedback loops or “facilitators”
Examples:
• Mexico: media campaign orchestrated by El
Poder del Consumidor to counteract soda companies “scare tactics”
•Mexico: INSP evidence-based policy briefs to counteract industry lobbying
of legislators to reduce or repel the SSB‟s tax
•Chile: Reaching a compromise with food industry to be able to implement
modified FL & marketing law
• Argentina: Multisectoral dialogue to understand
different stakeholder‟s concerns to prevent negative feedback loops from
slowing process

Emergent behavior refers to the spontaneous creation of order, which appears when smaller entities on their own jointly
contribute to organized behaviors as a collective
All four case studies are good examples of the CAS “perfect storm” that is needed to
happen for obesity prevention/ reduction policies to be implemented successfully
16
Phase transitions occur when radical changes take place in the features of system parameters as
they reach certain critical or tipping points
Source: Diaz del Castillo et al. (2013)
Scientific evidence and evaluation played an important role in achieving tipping points for policies'
launch and sustain effective implementation.
17
Same policies may need very different strategies to get them of the ground and then my follow very different policy
articulation and implementation patterns that are context specific (path dependence)
Examples:
• FL legislation in Chile vs. Ecuador (Lutter)
•SSB‟s taxes in Mexico vs. Berkeley CA (Falbe et al. 2015)
•Ciclovias in Bogota vs. Mexico City
Chile
Ecuador

Conclusions
• Implementation of evidence-informed anti-obesity policies gaining momentum in Latin
America
• Translating science into policy is a highly complex multi-directional non-linear process (Pratt et al. Environment
& Behavior 2015)
• Need for multisectoral coordination of evidence-based policies that enable
environments conducive to healthy lifestyles (change the default)
• CAS scaling up frameworks needed to objectively assess readiness for and progress
with implementation of national evidence-informed anti-obesity policies
• Key goal: Shorten amount of time it takes for effective anti-obesity policy implementation to happen

From Chile to Canada and beyond!
„New regulations, which corporate
interests delayed for almost a decade,
require explicit labeling and limit the
marketing of sugary foods to children.‟
