Issue There is a knowledge gap regarding the effectiveness of policies to change the upstream drivers of health-related behaviours like physical activity (PA) and food choice in a favourable direction. Description of the problem No systematic evaluation of policy interventions across Europe is currently being conducted, thus little information on the merit or utility of policy interventions is available and no guidance on how to address this gap exists. Expected Results PEN will provide tools to evaluate and benchmark policies addressing PA, unhealthy diets and sedentary behaviour (SB) while accounting for existing health inequalities. From February 2019 to January 2022, a multi-disciplinary research network from Europe and New Zealand will interact with policy makers and experts in policy development, implementation and evaluation to (1) assess public policies with potential influence on food and PA environments, (2) foster a harmonised pan-European surveillance system, (3) model the population level impact of policies, (4) evaluate facilitators and barriers of policy implementation processes, (5) give recommendations for an equity and diversity perspective in these policies. It will refine appropriate research designs and methods for the quantification of policy impact. Lessons PEN has adopted the INFORMAS approach to monitor, benchmark and support public and private sector actions in selected European countries to increase healthy food environments and reduce obesity and NCDs and their related inequalities. PEN has expanded this approach to develop a PA policy environment index. It has advanced the roadmap for a harmonized European surveillance system and derived a set of indicators for dietary, physical activity and sedentary behaviours including their upstream drivers. Key messages PEN strives to achieve implementation of evidence-based policies in different cultural or socio-economic settings with focus on vulnerable groups. PEN will give recommendations on how research designs and methods for the quantification of policy impact can be improved.
