Deliverables

D2.7 – Radon impact in lung cancer

Deliverable D.2.7 examines the risks associated with radon exposure as addressed in the European Code Against Cancer. The task involves a scoping review of radon levels in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), including existing limits and mitigation measures, and builds on a project from Plovdiv University, Bulgaria. The study aims to implement continuous radon monitoring […]

D2.4 – Alcohol, food, sugar regulations analysis

D2.4 examines alcohol, food, and sugar regulations as part of the 4P-CAN project’s multi-level assessment of cancer risk factors. It evaluates national policies and regulatory frameworks across EU and non-EU countries, focusing on alcohol control, food regulations, and sugar-sweetened beverage policies. Using literature reviews and supplementary research, the report identifies significant disparities in regulations that […]

D2.5 – Excess body weight and PA policies

The adoption and implementation of physical activity (PA) recommendations vary across countries, largely influenced by their institutional structures. In non-EU, former socialist countries, PA guidelines are often integrated into national health strategies, particularly within Non-Communicable Disease prevention programs. However, these adoptions tend to remain formal, lacking effective implementation due to gaps in knowledge, capacity, and […]

D2.3 – Tobacco regulation and legislation analysis

D2.3 evaluates the implementation of EU tobacco control directives across EU and non-EU countries within the 4P-CAN Consortium, assessing policies, regulations, and enforcement levels. While all participating countries are parties to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), significant disparities exist, particularly between EU and non-EU nations, in taxation, smoke-free policies, health warnings, advertising […]

D5.1 – PNAs methodology

D5.1 explores the relationship between social networks and cancer risk factors (such as smoking, diet, physical activity, and overweight) using Personal Network Analysis (PNA) within the 4P-CAN project. Conducted in a rural Romanian community, the research examines how individuals’ social connections influence their health behaviors, addressing a gap in existing studies that primarily focus on […]

D2.1 – Set of performance indicators

Cancer is a leading global cause of death, and primary prevention policies targeting modifiable risk factors are crucial for reducing its impact. This deliverable presents a scoping review of performance indicators used to monitor, propose, or evaluate cancer prevention policies at international and national levels across consortium partner countries. A total of 1,237 indicators were […]

Publications

National taxation on sugar-sweetened beverages and its association with overweight, obesity, and diabetes
The article presents a systematic scoping review following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews to summarize the landscape of national tax laws on sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) - soft drinks, include carbonated and noncarbonated beverages that contain sugar-based caloric sweeteners, such as sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, or fruit juice concentrates - consumption and its associated health risks, encompassing weight gain, obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Its primary aim is to provide a methodical overview of national tax regulations on SSBs and to assess their influence on the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
