Synopsis
The University of Sydney through the work of Marilyn Wise, Don Nutbeam and Stephen Leeder, were intimately involved in the development of health goals and targets for the achievement of better health in Australia in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The Better Health Commission, which commenced in 1985 and on which Stephen Leeder served, established goals and targets for improvements in heart disease, injury and nutrition. Contrary to many people's expectations many of these goals and targets were met! Subsequent expanded goals and targets were promulgated and it would be of great interest for a research student or person to formally examine how many of these goals were also met. A person interested in the process of effective policy development would be a welcome addition to our team to explore this very important question.
