The aim of this call is to develop novel strategies and targeted approaches to identify, understand, and modify determinants and mechanisms of diet-related behaviour and physical activity as well as sedentary behaviour, which are maintainable over time and have the potential to reduce health inequalities.
Research should be focussed on socio-economically disadvantaged groups. The applicants need to clearly define and justify their selection of target group(s). In addition, the strategy how these target groups will be reached needs to be innovative and outlined in detail.
Proposals should comprise holistic and multi-disciplinary research, that must include several approaches tackling different aspects, such as:
1. Mapping the current situation of the vulnerable groups with respect to food and built environment for physical activity, but also including the family, social, cultural, and local background, as well as digital influences;
2. Develop and test interventions, that may:
– target the food environment and/or the built environment for physical activity
– address illiteracy by increasing knowledge with respect to food, lifestyle and adequate use of digital media;
– be focussed on different settings, including but not limited to day-care, schools, workspace, retirement homes, neighbourhood.
3. Evaluating existing interventions, e.g. to identify barriers in the implementation;
4. Research on the efficiency of policies and fiscal approaches (e.g. taxes and subsidies) that were implemented to enhance healthy diets and physical activity;
5. Expanding the theoretical basis on the systemic barriers to change, e.g. political, economic and/or cultural barriers to increase the effect of interventions.
The research results should be translatable into policy recommendations or actions.
