The UWI HEU will host the webinar, “The Bitter Side of Sugar-Sweetened Beverages: Utilizing Fiscal Policy to Address Sugar-Sweetened Beverage Consumption in the Caribbean” on September 29 at 10 a.m. A presentation of the results for Trinidad and Tobago from a study titled “Empowering Healthcare Decision-makers to achieve Regional Needs for Sugar-sweetened Beverages Consumption Control in Latin America and the Caribbean”, will be included.

This study was undertaken by the UWI-HEU in collaboration with the Institute for Clinical Effectiveness and Health Policy (IECS) in Argentina. The presentation will share the results from a mathematical model which estimated the disease burden and economic impact attributable to excessive sugar-sweetened beverage consumption for Trinidad and Tobago. This will be followed by an expert panel discussion on the implications of the study results for the Caribbean.
