Abstract
Abstract Sarah Hawkes will discuss recent analyses of the gender-responsiveness of NCD policies in general in 6 European countries and tobacco-control policies in particular in a further 4 LMICs. Tobacco use is the world's leading preventable cause of illness and death and the most important risk factor for NCDs and thus developing effective and transformative tobacco control policies remains a pressing priority. Evidence for the sex-disaggregated burden of disease will be supplemented with gendered and intersectional analysis that explains why differences in health outcomes persist, and discussions will centre on how policies and programmes to address NCDs, including those specifically linked to tobacco, can be made more responsive to gender and its intersections.
