For the World Health Organization and the Oxford Vision 2020 Conference held in December, IAF conducted a global survey of health leaders on the barriers, opportunities, roles and strategies for chronic disease prevention and control. At the conference, Novo Nordisk, one of the sponsors of the Conference released their Diabetes 2020 scenarios, developed with coaching by an AFA team over a two year period. The results of the Conference, including the IAF survey, were published in the Journal of Social & Preventive Medicine.
