Childhood Obesity Prevention Scorecard (COPS)

CHILDHOOD OBESITY PREVENTION SCORECARDS (COPS)

WHO recommends a comprehensive approach to prevention including implementation of key policies including: Taxation of SSBs; Regulation of Marketing to Children; Mandatory Front of Package Nutritional Labelling; and School Policies. The HCC CSAP Childhood Obesity Prevention Scorecard (COPS) has 15 indicators to measure a country's response to this emerging crisis.

Please select a country:

The Overall Indicator is Green if all countries have implemented a policy, Orange if some of the countries have implemented a policy and Red if no countries have implemented a policy.
