- To set up and run the structure for communication
- To communicate with and report to CHAFEA
- To ensure that all ethical requirements are fulfilled.
Main Deliverables:
Periodic report and Final report
WP2 Dissemination

Leaflet, Layman version of the final report and Website
WP3 Evaluation of project
WP Leader: Academic Medical Centre – University of Amsterdam, Netherlands / University of Edinburgh, UK
Main Objectives:
- Evaluating if the project is implemented as planned, and reaches the objectives
Main Deliverables:
Periodic report and Final report
WP4 In-depth analysis of existing interventions
WP Leader: Norwegian Centre for Minority Health Research, Norway / University of Oslo, Norway
Main Objectives:
- To assess the strategies to promote behavioural change, in particular diet, among South Asian populations in Europe by evaluating their acceptability and effectiveness in different subgroups and contexts. To identify effective intervention elements that should be kept, as well as elements that need to be changed
Main Deliverables:
Draft scientific paper on the differential effectiveness of the intervention across population subgroups
Draft scientific paper on acceptability and perceived effectiveness of intervention elements among lay target groups (e.g. participants) and professionals
Report containing the synthesis of evidence on the intervention elements
WP5 Validation of strategies to optimize existing health promotion strategies
WP Leader: Academic Medical Centre – University of Amsterdam, Netherlands
Main Objectives:
- To identify elements, both novel and from the evaluations in WP4, and:
- To test the validity of strategies that seem promising for increasing the reach, acceptability and effectiveness of existing interventions aimed promoting the uptake and maintenance in cross-cultural setting.
Main Deliverables:
Draft scientific paper on effective strategies to optimize health promotion among South Asians and Final report effective strategies
WP6 Evaluating current dietary goals and novel targets
WP Leader: Academic Medical Centre – University of Amsterdam, Netherlands / University of Glasgow, UK
Main Objectives:
- To identify specific dietary components that influence the high risk of T2D in South Asian origin people living in Europe by considering current dietary recommendations, and novel mechanisms in the relation between diet and T2D in these populations
Main Deliverables:
Draft scientific paper on effectiveness of current dietary goals
Draft scientific paper on lipid intake and lipotoxicity markers and their association with incident T2D
Final report current and novel goals
WP7 Developing recommendations
WP Leader: University of Edinburgh, UK
Main Objectives:
- To integrate the outcomes of the individual core WPs (WP4-WP6), and translate this knowledge into recommendations for effective health promotion strategies to prevent T2D in South Asian populations living in Europe, with a focus on diet. This WP, will also embed the summative evaluation from WP3
Main Deliverables:
The main deliverable from this WP is the report on Recommendations for health promotion to prevent T2D among South Asians
