Introduction
“To him who devotes his life to science, nothing can give more happiness than increasing the number of discoveries, but his cup of joy is full when the results of his studies immediately find practical applications.” -Louis Pasteur
This quote succinctly addresses the tension regarding the use of health research to inform the formation of policy. While literature tends to focus on transforming health research to justify policy decisions, relatively little empirical work exists that examines the use of research to formulate policy and the financial, health, and social implications of doing so. The perceived relationship between research and policy remains central to this tension and how actors in both the research and policy arena work to forge collaborative partnerships. These partnerships may take various forms such as researchers and policymakers working together to formulate policy or researchers providing policymakers with research briefs to help draft policy. The challenging economic landscape of the United States places even more emphasis on the need for evidence-based policymaking.
Across the country, the increasing calls for accountability in all aspects of government come from not only political pundits but also the general public. Public health or more specifically, obesity represents one arena where calls for accountability through evidence-based policymaking can be heard from a multitude of interested parties. The current essay is a proposal based on a policy related to obesity. The author will focus on “Healthy People 2010” as to how it can be made more influential. The essay is divided into three sections. Section 1 focuses on the proposed policy, why it was proposed and how effective it is. In the second section, the author discusses strategies to include the proposed policy into agenda and then approved while a 3rd section of the paper will evaluate the potential barriers and obstacles that may come in the way of the proposed policy.
Section -1 Public Policy
Personally, I am of the opinion that to address the issue of obesity we should focus on the root level and that is childhood obesity. Obesity is a concern in the United States because of a combination of lifestyle factors, such as sedentary lifestyles, poor nutrition, and the evolution of the family unit, as well as additional pressures on children to perform at high levels (Ebbeling, Pawlak, & Ludwig, 2002).
Reducing childhood obesity as a policy objective, as defined in the national health initiative Healthy People 2010, requires that public agencies develop policies and programs “to reduce the proportion of children and adolescents who are overweight and obese” (Healthy People, 2010). I think this initiative be made comprehensive and influential as it empowers public agencies to create policies and implement. Healthy People 2010 (HP 2010) presented a prevention framework to address health issues across the nation. HP 2010 was created upon a 1979 Surgeon General’s Report entitled Healthy People as well as Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives.
These initiatives have served as the foundation for similar actions taken at state, local, and community levels (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). The goals of HP 2010 were two-fold: 1) Increase Quality and Years of Healthy Life and 2) Eliminate Health Disparities. Each of the focus areas contained within the plan contains a goal statement that is supplemented with baseline data. The objectives included in HP 2010 were a wide variety that represented some of the most significant preventable threats to the health of the nation (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services). In addition, the objectives have been identified as a means to measure the progress of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, the Maternal and Child Health Block Grant, and the Preventive Health and Health Services Block Grant (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2009).
I support the policy suggestion presented by Kenneth Hecht Executive Director of California Food Policy Advocates. Kenneth suggested that we should use the Child and Adult Care Food Program to address childhood obesity in the United States. Child and Adult Food Care program was initiated in 1968 for low-income families. Under these programs there are almost three million children are being served in child care centers and homes. Kenneth reported before the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition & Forestry of the United States Senate on March 4, 2009, that this program needs to be revised in particular the meal patterns being served under this program as these meals do not meet the standards set by 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Kennet put her proposal before the committee with the following main recommendation;
- “Congress should provide a higher reimbursement for CACFP meals and snacks and should direct USDA to quickly prescribe stronger nutrition standards, which bring meals and snacks into greater compliance with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.”
- “Federal regulations, memoranda, training, and materials relating to nutrition for CACFP should align with WIC’s new nutrition messages and guidelines.”
- “Child care sites receiving reimbursement through CACFP should provide a healthier food environment and more physical activity.”
Reauthorizing the child food programs and using them to address the issue of obesity has been suggested by other experts too such as Margaret L. Bogle, (2009) who is Ph.D. Executive Director, Delta Obesity Prevention Research Unit, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service Little Rock, AR who suggested to make meals according to the updated food standards. Similarly Nancy Huehnergarth, Director, New York State Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Alliance (NYSHEPA) who supported to enact the policy related to updating school nutrition standard standards and Karen Ehrens, L.R.D.North Dakota Dietetic Association Public Policy Chair who suggested to reform school nutrition programs in order to address childhood obesity.
I support the proposal of Kenneth because obesity needs to be addressed at root levels. Childhood obesity is becoming an important issue in the health sector because of what some have called a growing national epidemic (Dietz, 1998). Dietz describes childhood obesity as a chronic disease reaching proportions that have not been matched in history.
Questions concerning political feasibility and public health impact often arise during policy discussions. The feasibility of a policy refers to whether the proposal receives a favorable hearing from policymakers; while public health impact refers to the likelihood that the policy reduces or prevents obesity (Brescoll, Kersh, & Brownwell, 2008).
Section-2 Policy Strategies
The public policy serves as a mechanism through which agendas receive prominence and acceptance. However, navigating the policy process is a daunting task for many researchers. The call to link health research and policy has been articulated through a variety of venues including literature. There is a need to understand the interplay or lack thereof between health research and the policy formation process that necessitates an examination of the decision-making process that forms the foundation for each. The processes that researchers and policymakers typically use to make decisions are divergent and work against each other. So I will adopt a strategy to remove the links between the research on obesity and policymakers.
Given the complexity of not only the policy-making arena but also the causes of obesity, understanding the current trajectory of the policy provides insight and empirical data to support new directions in the policy arena. Literature reveals policy interventions provide a forum that provides individuals with opportunities, support, and cues to develop and adopt healthier lifestyles (Brownson, Haire-Joshu, and Luke, 2006). Policy interventions may provide a more permanent solution to issues than individual-level programs. It is important to note that policy interventions in the health arena not only impact the individual behavior but also has implications for the environment surrounding the health issue (Brownson et al., 2006a).
In addition, the arguments for bringing about a reversal of the epidemic fall into three camps: education, regulation, or litigation. Behavioral elements of the epidemic include an increase in consumption, decreased physical activity, and a host of psychological components (Faith, Fontaine, Cheskin, & Allison, 2000). An imbalance between energy taken in and expended represents the basic premise of arguments that fall into this camp.
Here I would also like to suggestions by Swartz (2003) who made recommendations to lower childhood obesity by making interventions in public schools since the school has continuous access to obese children while they are attending school sessions. Swartz recommends a school-based intervention program by Brownell and Kaye (1982) that showed a reduction in the weight of the children who participated. Browned and Kaye increased the level of activity and time in physical education classes, enhanced the knowledge of nutrition for the students participating, made available low-fat school cafeteria options, and included the benefits of physical activity in the curriculum. Brownell and Kaye extended the program to involve parents and include behavior modification in the program. In their study, 95 percent of the participating students in the treatment group lost weight, compared to a control group in which 21 percent of the students lost weight.,
Further, in our driven society, it is important to develop “healthy” habits during childhood such as proper diet and exercise (Dalton, 2004). Habits in childhood set a lifetime of behavioral patterns that increase the likelihood of carrying them over into adulthood and assist in contravening some of the inactivity associated with sedentary work environments (Diestz, 1998) According to Dixit (2003), the lack of activity and poor nutrition have been identified as leading contributors to obesity in children who are beginning to exhibit such health issues as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and kidney and liver involvement at an early age.
As established above the policy is generally enacted considering the severity of the issue. In this regard issue, framing and agenda setting are important. Mostly the nongovernmental groups pursue an issue and bring it in the notice of the government. Below is a discussion on issue framing, in particular, the issue of obesity has been focused.
Issue framing and Role of Interest Groups
In bringing the issue of obesity different groups and organizations have played an important role. The prominent among them are F.R.A.C “Food Research Action Center” 2)”Action for Healthy Kids” 3)O.A.C. Obesity Action Coalition. The role these groups are playing is very important for the government. The available literature on the use of health research during the policy formation process falls into two different camps of theoretical perspectives. The first camp calls upon researchers to continue to conduct research in a current manner. This approach to research suggests that researchers conduct sound, scientific research, place it in the realm of academia with the possibility that policymakers might use the information on some level.
This perspective represents the positivist approach. While useful to the extent of encouraging researchers not to compromise the scientific integrity of their research, limitations exist. The limitations serve as the foundation in the work of those who call for a post-positivist approach to research and policy formation. In the second camp of thought, the post-positivist approach calls upon researchers to examine how they carry out their work, as well as, the modes of dissemination, target audiences, and involvement in the policy process through agenda setting. In addition, those who take a post-positivist approach urge researchers to embrace the scientific integrity of their work, while simultaneously working to set the agenda based on scientific findings and disseminating the findings in a format understood by the layperson. Some would refer to this as “action research.”
The call to action regarding obesity has intensified over the years and the frames have differed depending on the messenger. What remains constant is the debate over obesity and who should bear the responsibility for curtailing the epidemic are competing for frames. The two most common frames championed by the actors involved in the debate center around an individual pole and a systemic pole. The selection of the frame determines not only who is responsible for the issue (i.e. who is to blame) but also the course of action needed to effectively address the issue.
Applying an individual level frame to the debate surrounding obesity suggests that responsibility rests with the person afflicted. Specifically, the use of the frame suggests that the obesity epidemic currently sweeping the nation reflects the personal behavior of individuals and laments that U.S. officials are not responsible for regulating such behaviors. Among those who support an individual frame to approaching obesity are members of the food industry. One study finds that the industry successfully curtailed shifting the frame with a political block to action (Mello, Studdert, & Brennan, 2006). The industry successfully launched a political block by suggesting that government intervention into the ‘private behavior’ of individuals was tantamount to acting as a ‘nanny’ or as others have said ‘the Twinkie police.’ This block to government intervention supports the individual frame by portraying obesity as a consequence of an individual’s right to choose the type, quantity, and quality of food consumed.
The individual frame places a premium on the ability of the individual to make choices without the intrusion of the government or any other regulatory agency. In addition, the individual frame encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own health through better choices. It is important to note that the individual frame does not deny that obesity has grown to epidemic proportions. Proponents of this frame suggest solutions for combating obesity that include education campaigns.
These campaigns provide consumers with information regarding making better food choices and increasing physical activity; however, the onus is on the individual to make better decisions given the facts. In addition, those who employ an individual frame approach to obesity have been successful in having legislation (i.e. the Personal Responsibility in Food Consumption Act of 1993) introduced that prevents ‘frivolous’ lawsuits that blame the food and beverage industry for the obesity epidemic facing the country (Kersh & Morone, 2005; Lawrence, 2004; Mello et al., 2006).
A competing frame of reference, the systemic frame, takes a different approach to confront the obesity epidemic than that of the individual frame. The systemic frame broadens the focus of the obesity discussion and assigns responsibility to the government, food and beverage industry, and other social actors. In recent years, the systemic frame appears to have gained some ground as is apparent through the increased media attention, federal legislation, and programs aimed at confronting the epidemic. Specifically, proponents in this frame urge government action to combat obesity through a variety of venues. While acknowledging the personal nature of obesity, these proponents argue that there are environmental factors that require government action to fully address the epidemic.
In addition to determining whether an issue is framed as individual or systemic, the framing of a problem shapes the implications for acceptance among policymakers. Researchers identify key dimensions of framing health-related issues that include: voluntary versus involuntary acquisition of the health risk, universal (everyone at risk) or particular risk, individual versus systemic origin, and real or perceived risk (Lawrence, 2004; Steinacker, 2006). Many of these dimensions affect the emergence of an issue on the policy agenda. For example, an issue with real or perceived risk or one in which individuals believe poses an involuntarily acquired universal risk raises public awareness, shapes public opinion, and ultimately provides stakeholders with ammunition to push the issue into the policy arena.
Framing represents an opportunity not only for researchers to contribute to providing support for an issue on the policy agenda, but also an opportunity to learn to conduct better research (Schon & Rein, 1994). Specifically, framing highlights the importance of policymakers and researchers forming collaborative partnerships to frame issues (Schon & Rein, 1994). These partnerships consider not only the farmer’s point of view but also alternatives. Furthermore, the literature reveals the criteria for framing that includes: verifiability, the eloquence of the argument, ethical evaluation, coherence, and utility (Schon & Rein, 1994). In applying the criteria, researchers abandon the rigorous focus on objectivity that many hail as the gold standard of research. As an alternative to the rigorous objectivity, these criteria require all parties to acknowledge their biases and move forward to an amenable solution
Section 3 Barriers & Obstacles
The causes of obesity seem to be as varied as the discussion surrounding whether or not it should be classified as a disease. Just (2006) provides a summary of some of the food assistance programs and their relative impact on obesity and suggests that obesity may be less a function of these programs and more a result of clever marketing techniques. However, it is important to note that consumption sets are increased as a result of these benefits and perhaps an expansion of goods that can be purchased through these programs could increase the nutritional value of the foods consumed.
While the IRS declared it a disease in 2002, the debate continues to be furious among federal health officials. This framing discussion could have far-reaching consequences in terms of the response deemed appropriate to deal with the problem. As evidenced by the response to infectious disease, smoking, and drunk driving, once the evidence is clear, government regulation and changes in behavior (voluntary and involuntary) ensues.
Factors including poor timing, ambiguous findings, balancing objectivity and advocacy, personal demands, information overload, lack of relevant data, and a mismatch between thinking and problems can attribute to bills deemed to have the greatest public health impact not being enacted (Anderson et al., 2005; Brownson et al., 2006c; Lawrence, 2004; Oliver, 2006; Walt, 1994). Several of these factors came into play during the bill review for the five states.
For example, enacted Florida SB 1324 (2006) used data to illustrate the prevalence of obesity and included the following text: “…approximately 60 percent of overweight children have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol, and about 25 percent of overweight children have two or more risk factors…” This excerpt is characteristic of enacted bills included in the study; however it should also be noted that similar references to data were also found in legislation that was eventually labeled dead Timing may have also been a factor since 50% of the enacted legislation occurred in 2005, which would have been on the heels of the first progress review for Healthy People 2010. Specifically, the progress review highlighted approaches that should be considered to help impact the obesity rate
Given divergent decision-making processes finding a balance between feasibility and impact remains critical to addressing obesity. Brescoll et al. (2008) investigate this tension in a study of childhood obesity policy by categorizing policies into four quadrants: “high impact, high feasibility”, “high impact, low feasibility”, “low impact, high feasibility”, and “low impact, low feasibility.” While policies that encourage a ban on activities such as advertising in schools, celebrity endorsements, and vending machines were viewed as having the greatest impact, policymakers viewed these policies as infeasible. On the other hand, policies that emphasized nutritional labeling were moderately feasible but had a lower impact on obesity. Policies that focus on education and information dissemination were viewed by policymakers as highly feasible, while nutrition experts indicate that these policies have the lowest impact on obesity. Finally, funding for research that focuses on prevention and cost-effective interventions were viewed as having the most impact and feasibility
A final example could be a mismatch between how an issue is conceptualized and how it is operational zed. The complexity of defining obesity, understanding the causes, and plausible solutions all impact the study of the issue. Specifically, it is important to understand the relationship between the concepts before attempting to devise a solution. For example, research studies may take as long as three to six years to complete- and perhaps longer in some cases- to reach the point of dissemination (Brownson et al., 2006c), while policymakers are elected every two to six years. While researchers may be able to focus their attention on a single issue, policymakers often deal with hundreds of issues during a given legislative session. Ambiguity represents another barrier to convergence as it may cause frustration for policymakers who often prefer to make decisions based on ‘precise estimates’ as opposed to ‘confidence intervals’ as presented in research findings.
Researchers walk a tight line between raising awareness, communicating research findings, and active lobbying for a particular issue. One issue that researchers confront is whether their involvement in the policy process compromises their objectivity of a given issue. More specifically, researchers may find it difficult to balance the demands of academia and involvement in policy development because of the time commitments required by both. In addition, policymakers may perceive an absence of relevant data because of some of the divergent findings on a given topic. In terms of the mismatch between thinking and problems, some research designs utilize randomized trials or rely on controlled environments, while policy decisions are rarely conceptualized and implemented in such environments. Finally, some researchers suggest that the historical divide between researchers and policymakers also aids in constructing barriers during the decision-making processes (Almeida & Bascolo, 2006).
