Strengthening national salt reduction strategies using multiple methods process evaluations - case studies from Malaysia and Mongolia

CONCLUSIONS: In the first half of Malaysia's and Mongolia's strategies, both countries generated necessary evidence and education materials, mobilised health professionals to deliver salt reduction education and achieved small-scale reformulation in foods. Both subsequently should focus on implementing regulatory policies and achieving population-wide reach and impact. Process evaluations of existing salt reduction strategies can help strengthen intervention delivery, aiding achievement of WHO's 30% reduction in salt intake by 2025 target.PMID:38343162 | DOI:10.1017/S1368980023002781
