dc.descriptionLA countries are targeting SSB consumption through a variety of mechanisms, particularly via restrictions to availability in schools and through taxes. Interdisciplinary evidence comparing alternative regulatory strategies is scarce, and few studies offer data on impact and implementation challenges. More evidence and further comparative assessments are needed to support future decision-making.en
dc.description.abstractThe study tracked legal and public health databases for public and private regulation of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) in 14 Latin American (LA) countries, and conducted a systematic review of the available literature. Comparative variations in the type of governance body issuing the regulations, their scope, and binding status were examined. In the past two decades, non-communicable disease (NCD) levels have soared across Latin America, in part due to the fastest growing obesity rates in the world. The paper also assesses the available evidence on new regulatory strategies, their enforcement challenges, and their impacts.en
