The evaluation team at London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine is in the process of publishing several independently funded policy evaluation reports. This includes a process evaluation; analysis of media coverage of the TfL advertising restrictions in UK newspapers and trade press; and an analysis and assessment of exposure to HFSS advertising by socioeconomic group. The final impact analysis paper has now been submitted to The Public Library of Science and, subject to formal peer review, will be published in the New Year.
