In January/February 2007, OxHA sent a questionnaire on marketing food and beverages to children to OxHA members and other interested parties to hear their views on the current debate concerning food and drink marketing to children.
This information helped inform OxHA’s response to the International Obesity Task Force’s ‘Guiding Principles for Reducing the Commercial Promotion of Foods and Beverages to Children’ (‘Sydney Principles’).
All answers were treated confidentially, and OxHA only used/shared anonymous summary data.
OxHA received 49 responses, from 27 countries (including Brazil, China, the USA, India, Mongolia, Australia, UK, Mexico, Ghana, Uganda and South Africa) across six continents. Those responding included researchers, academics, NGOs, policy makers, corporates, media and young people.
