We have produced an obesity health needs assessment (PDF, 5.8 MB), and a childhood weight health needs assessment for Kent.
We have also produced an analysis of the overlap between obesity, alcohol and smoking (PDF, 636.3 KB).
We have analysed uptake of the 2016 Change4Life local campaign (PDF, 908.9 KB) and the 2016 Change4Life Sugar Smart campaign (PDF, 1.1 MB) in Kent.
We have produced literature reviews that examine evidence for engaging with minority groups in weight management programmes and examining the relationship between weight and unemployment.
Finally, we have also analysed the adult lifestyle weight management and family weight management (Tier 2) programmes commissioned by Kent County Council.
