Article Synopsis
- This study explores the national and subnational physical activity (PA) policy processes in selected Latin American countries, focusing on how these levels interact during agenda setting, formulation, adoption, implementation, and evaluation of policies.
- Using the GoPA! INTEGRATE-PA-Pol tool, data was collected from policymakers in Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, and Mexico, finding that most respondents work in health-related sectors and report the existence of PA policies linked to noncommunicable disease prevention.
- Results indicate a central role for subnational actors in PA promotion, but low collaboration between national and subnational policymakers across the entire policy process, highlighting a need for better engagement.
Background: In May 2022, several countries with no history of sustained community transmission of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) notified WHO of new mpox cases. These cases were soon followed by a large-scale outbreak, which unfolded across the world, driven by local, in-country transmission within previously unaffected countries. On July 23, 2022, WHO declared the outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
