Description

The World Health Organization (WHO) is seeking offers for technical support to develop and implement a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey on public knowledge and perception of NCDs and their risk factors.

BACKGROUND

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of death and disability in the Western Pacific Region, imposing a substantial burden on societies by contributing to premature deaths, reduced quality of life and significant health care costs. NCDs encompass a broad range of conditions including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases. In 2019, 12 million people in the Western Pacific Region died from NCDs.

Many NCDs share modifiable behavioural risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diets and harmful use of alcohol. Controlling these risk factors is a critical component of reducing the burden of NCDs. The NCD Prevention and Health Promotion Team (PND) Unit under the Division of Healthy Environments and Populations, WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific is supporting Member States to reduce the burden of NCDs through the implementation of evidence-based interventions to prevent and reduce modifiable risk factors.

To strengthen these efforts, we are seeking applications from potential institutional partners to conduct a comprehensive Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices survey in the Western Pacific Region. This survey will serve as a foundational tool for evidence based policy-making, strategic communications and targeted interventions aligned with the goals of the Regional Action Framework for noncommunicable disease prevention and control in the Western Pacific. By gaining an understanding of the current knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding NCDs and their risk factors in the Western Pacific Region, we will be better equipped to design and implement effective initiatives to address the specific needs and challenges faced by our region.
