Cancer culture: understanding anti-cancer campaigns in Australia

我们如何改变文化以改善公共健康？这个项目调查了澳大利亚抗癌运动的历史，以了解科学、倡导、政策和行为变化之间的联系。维多利亚州癌症委员会的活动修改了政府政策，将澳大利亚推向了公共卫生研究和翻译的国际显赫地位，并影响了行为。该项目力求分析这类运动的部署情况、使它们能够利用政策变化的社会文化和政治背景，以及它们与救生行为的联系。提炼成功和失败的要素将更好地为倡导者和政府提供信息，通过未来的健康促进来预防癌症和其他疾病。

How do we change culture to improve public health? This project investigates the history of Australian anti-cancer campaigns to understand the nexus between science, advocacy, policy and behavioural change. The campaigns of Cancer Council Victoria modified government policy, pushed Australia into international prominence in public health research and translation, and influenced behaviour. The project seeks to analyse the deployment of such campaigns, the socio-cultural and political context that allowed them to leverage policy change, and their connection to life-saving behaviours. Distilling elements of success and failure will better inform advocates and governments in preventing cancer and other diseases through future health promotion.
