Background Mexico is experiencing one of the highest rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes globally, with 75% of the population classified as overweight or obese. This public health burden is especially pronounced in the northern region of the country, particularly in the Sonoran Desert, where dietary patterns are influenced by high consumption of ultra-processed foods and sugar-sweetened beverages. Environmental factors such as extreme heat and water scarcity contribute to these dietary behaviours. Supermarkets are the primary source of food purchases in this region. However, unhealthy products are often more accessible and aggressively promoted than healthier alternatives. This, combined with the significant environmental impact of current dietary patterns, especially greenhouse gas emissions from animal-based and processed foods, highlights the urgent need for interventions targeting the retail food environment. Aim The project aims to evaluate whether altering in-store promotion and placement s

 ecoSwitch The ecoSwitch app provides Australian consumers a way of understanding the greenhouse impact of packaged foods and to choose alternatives to switch to that are less harmful to our planet. The app also displays expanded data on a product that includes sustainability-related information such as its country of origin information; level of processing using the NOVA classification; and sustainability claims, as well as its health and nutrition information.The EcoSwitch app is available in Australia:ecoSwitch Australia - [Android] [iOS]     Planetary HealthPlanetary Health can be defined as “the health of human civilization and the natural systems on which it depends” and recognizes that human health and the health of our planet are inextricably linked. The global food system is estimated to generate 30%-40% of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe) and is a key contributor to climate change. The Eat-Lancet commission on Food, Planet, Health cited food as “the single s

BackgroundIndia is home to 705 individual indigenous tribal communities who are recognised as “Scheduled Tribes” (STs) by the Indian Constitution and constitute 8.6% of the country’s population. Despite their rich traditional ecological knowledge (TEK), access to biodiverse food systems, and schemes supporting tribal welfare, the ST communities have compromised nutritional status and subpar quality of life which could be attributed to socio-economic, environmental and demographic transitions and other factors. Their distinctive food systems are also facing erosion.AimWe aim to characterize, revive, support, monitor and manage sustainable food systems to address malnutrition in indigenous tribal communities of India. Additionally, we will pilot a food systems intervention, co-developed with, and implemented in, one tribal community, with the aim of supporting the nutritional wellbeing of this populationResearch MethodologyDevelop, adapt, standardize and pilot toolkits on food systems, their drivers and a

BackgroundMost deaths from trauma occur within the first 24-48 hours. Most preventable trauma deaths are caused by clinical judgement errors during initial resuscitation or early care, including airway management and haemorrhage control.The proprietary Advanced Trauma Life Support® (ATLS®) is the most established trauma life support training program.AimsCompare the effects of ATLS® training with standard care on outcomes in adult trauma patients in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), including recovery before discharge and functional outcomes at and after discharge such as pain, mobility and self-care activities.MethodsThis is a stepped-wedge cluster randomised trial. All clusters (hospitals) will transition through three phases: a standard care phase; transition phase during which the training is delivered; and an intervention phase. Adult trauma patients presenting to the emergency departments of 30 hospitals will be recruited for the study. The total sample size will include 4,320 patients ac
