Congratulations to Nicole Ide, Manika Sharma, Senior Technical Advisors for Nutrition, and the team on receiving the 2024 Paul Dudley White International Scholar Award from the American Heart Association for their abstract titled “Co-Created Intervention Promotes Uptake of Low Sodium Iodized Salt Substitute to Control Hypertension”.
The abstract highlights how introducing an innovative intervention to promote low-sodium iodized salt (LSIS) can help reduce India’s significant hypertension burden. The substantial increase in LSIS usage, particularly when paired with education and subsidies, has the potential to be an impactful public health strategy and marks a significant step toward improving health outcomes in India.
