Toward Monitoring and Addressing the Commercial Determinants of Health: Where Can We Go From Here?

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Policy Points We describe ways to advance two key priorities related to the commercial determinants of health (CDH): the development of systems to monitor commercial practices and the creation of policy recommendations to address the CDH. Specifically, we discuss corporate nonfinancial reporting as a potential mechanism to obtain data on commercial practices that influence population health, describe the potential risks and benefits, and propose opportunities to advance high-quality corporate reporting on health impacts. We also review previous global agenda-setting exercises to suggest five key considerations to inform the World Health Organization's forthcoming policy recommendations for addressing the CDH.
