Objective
Equity-oriented policy actions are a key public health principle. In this study, how equity and socioeconomic inequalities are represented in policy problematizations of population nutrition were examined. Data Sources We retrieved a purposive sample of government nutrition-policy documents (n = 18) from high-income nations. Data Synthesis Thematic analysis of policy documents was informed by a multitheoretical understanding of equitable policies and Bacchi’s “What’s the Problem Represented to be?’ analysis framework. Despite common rhetorical concerns about the existence of health inequalities, these concerns were often overshadowed by greater emphasis on lifestyle “problems” and reductionist policy actions. The notion that policy actions should be for all and reach everyone were seldom backed by specific actions. Rhetorical acknowledgements of the upstream drivers of health inequalities were also rarely problematized, as were government responsibilities for health equity and the role of policy and governance in reducing socioeconomic inequalities in nutrition. Conclusion To positively influence health equity outcomes, national nutrition policy will need to transition toward the prioritization of actions that uphold social justice and comprehensively address the upstream determinants of health. |
