Obesity prevention advocacy in Australia: an analysis of policy impact on autonomy.

CONCLUSIONS: Stakeholders advocated policy options that enhance individual autonomy to a greater extent than those that diminish autonomy. Implications for public health: Targeting obesity policy options that enhance rather than diminish autonomy may be more politically acceptable across most settings, with the exception of schools where more restrictive policy options are appropriate. Re-framing options accordingly may improve leadership by government in obesity policy. PMID: 28371184 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
