New Zealand’s national cancer agency calls for better use of research to inform lifestyle changes
Translating research into changed behaviours is needed urgently to reduce cancer levels in New Zealand, a report has said.
Initiatives such as New Zealand’s move to being “smoke-free” by 2025 will make a big difference in preventable disease and pressure on the health system, according to the Cancer Prevention Report published this month by New Zealand’s cancer control agency Te Aho o Te Kahu. It was written in collaboration with the University of Otago, Wellington, and the Health Promotion Agency.
