Effective Delivery

Food consumption data gathered at a fine enough spatial and temporal resolution is essential for the effective delivery and evaluation of diet-related public health interventions. Currently, the standard for food consumption data is food surveys. However, they are a burden on the respondant, are prone to bias and are often published after a long delay. In our study, we illustrate the utility of digital food purchasing data in public health practice by demonstrating a drop in soda sales following two public health interventions implemented in late 2011 in Montreal, Canada, to decrease the consumption of soda in school-aged children.

Public Health Interventions

Chapters 10 and 11 were about the methodology and results, respectively, on the system's impact on compliance of the healthcare providers with the maternal health guidelines. Chapter 12 now considers the broader consequences of the BACIS program study. First, a discussion of the results of the BACIS program study in relation to the safe motherhood programme is undertaken. This is followed by a discussion of the issue of non-utilisation of health services, which is an issue that impacts on outcomes and programme success. After this follows a section on the discussion of the results of the BACIS program study against other e-health interventions that are in use or have been proposed, then next against other public health interventions in general, not just e-health systems. The final section discusses the study's results against the backdrop of the broader topic of primary healthcare functioning.
