Taking Action to Prevent Chronic Disease

This report, Taking Action to Prevent Chronic Disease: Recommendations for a Healthier Ontario, makes 22 recommendations for evidence-informed actions to guide a provincial strategy to deliver these outcomes:

• Reduce population-level exposure to four key risk factors: tobacco, alcohol, unhealthy eating and physical inactivity
• Build capacity for chronic disease prevention
• Work towards health equity

Taking Action to Prevent Chronic Disease: Recommendations for a Healthier Ontario is the work of the Prevention Working Group (PWG), a collaboration of Public Health Ontario and Cancer Care Ontario supported by panels of subject matter experts and public health stakeholders.
