The International Food Policy Study consists of national surveys conducted annually to evaluate the impact of national-level food policies. Surveys are being conducted in each of five countries—Australia, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and the United States—to examine dietary patterns and policy-relevant behaviours across countries. Surveys are conducted among adults and youth (aged 10-17) in each of these countries, with additional youth surveys in Chile. The study will provide a quasi-experimental design for evaluating federal-level policies by providing both ‘within’ and ‘between-country’ measures over time.
