Obesity is forecast to cost the Australian community more than $58 billion in 2008. The prevention and reduction of obesity thus has the potential to create significant savings in terms of obesity-related treatment costs and impairments. Children have been identified as a population requiring particular attention in efforts to combat obesity. The proposed study will provide an enhanced understanding of the role that food promotion plays in sub-optimal food choices made by children and their parents. The results of the study will be translated into specific public policy recommendations to assist governments and health agencies in determining appropriate courses of action to promote healthy diets among children and their families.

据预测，2008年肥胖症将使澳大利亚社会损失超过580亿美元。因此，预防和减少肥胖症有可能在与肥胖症有关的治疗费用和损害方面节省大量费用。儿童已被确定为在防治肥胖症的努力中需要特别关注的群体。这项拟议的研究将使人们更好地了解食品促销在儿童及其父母选择次优食品方面所起的作用。研究结果将转化为具体的公共政策建议，以协助政府和卫生机构确定适当的行动方针，促进儿童及其家庭的健康饮食。
