DESCRIPTION:Poor diet is a leading cause of disease burden in Australia an
 d globally. Adults and children who experience greater socioeconomic disad
 vantage\, whether from a lower income\, education or from living in socioe
 conomically disadvantaged neighbourhoods\, are more likely to consume poor
 er diets. Population-wide\, or “Universal” policies are designed to af
 fect all people regardless of risk or circumstances. These types of polici
 es have the potential to influence overall population diets and health and
  also health inequalities.  However\, health equity effects depend on an i
 mpact for higher risk population subgroups in proportion to need.\n\nIn th
 is presentation I will discuss our research examining the health equity im
 pact of key population food policies. With a focus on price manipulation f
 or healthy eating\, I will draw on a range of epidemiological studies to p
 resent evidence on how actions can be taken to rebalance the price of food
 s towards healthier options\, thereby improving population health and heal
 th inequities.
