Implementation Barriers
Yin’s research examines barriers such as price, product availability, consumer awareness, labelling and stakeholder views.
This asks how an intervention can be scaled in real populations after efficacy has been established.
Global Environmental Scan
Yin and colleagues have studied worldwide availability, formulation, labelling and price of low-sodium salts.
The work is designed to reveal market differences across countries.
China and Nigeria Perspective
Together with Dike Ojji and Bruce Neal, Yin discussed why salt substitution may be scalable in settings such as China and Nigeria.
Populations where much salt is added during home cooking are particularly relevant.
