The scoping review aims to map existing national policy instruments (programmes, schemes, regulations and guidelines) addressing overweight and obesity in India and analysing them for Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) strategies. Methods Systematic identification and selection of policy instruments using \u2018Arksey and O\u2019Malley\u2019 framework was conducted from central government ministry websites, between March and June 2023. These instruments focused on nutrition and\/or physical activity, targeting specific demographic groups like pregnant women, lactating mothers, children (0-5 years and 5-9 years), or adolescents (10-19 years); excluding those focusing on specific diseases like micronutrient deficiencies, wasting, and stunting. Based on search strategy six policy instruments were included and analysed for SBCC strategies. Results While many policy instruments incorporated SBCC plans; the \u2018National Programme for Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases (NP-NCD)\u2019 stands out as a significant policy initiative specifically targeting the prevention of overweight and obesity within the broader context of Non-Communicable Diseases. It adopts a comprehensive approach addressing key drivers contributing to overweight\/obesity across multiple levels of behavioural influence i.e., individual, interpersonal, community and organisation for health promotion. However, there\u2019s need to strengthen SBCC strategies related to prevention and management of obesity, especially screening and counselling, to cover all age groups with a particular focus on adolescents and youth. SBCC strategies can also be incorporated into India\u2019s Integrated Nutrition Support Programme (POSHAN 2.0) and\/or Reproductive, Maternal, New-born, Child, Adolescent Health and Nutrition (RMNCAH+N) under the National Health Mission. Conclusion This paper underscores the necessity for comprehensive strategies to address multifaceted origins of overweight and obesity. The NP-NCD stands out as a noteworthy initiative, and there is considerable potential for other programmes to emulate SBCC strategies to bolster their overall effectiveness.\n                    <ns4:bold>\n                      <ns4:italic>Note<\/ns4:italic>\n                    <\/ns4:bold>\n                    : *Policy instruments throughout the paper have been used to cover programmes, schemes, regulations and guidelines.\n                  <\/ns4:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.149857.2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]],"date-time":"2024-11-18T11:10:09Z","timestamp":1731928209000},"page":"496","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["A Scoping Review of Existing Policy Instruments to Tackle Overweight and Obesity in India: Recommendations for a Social and Behaviour Change Communication Strategy"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Nishibha","family":"Thapliyal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6348-3335","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shalini","family":"Bassi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7722-2061","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deepika","family":"Bahl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kavita","family":"Chauhan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kathryn","family":"Backholer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Neena","family":"Bhatia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suparna","family":"Ghosh-Jerath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lopamudra","family":"Tripathy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4791-0787","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Preetu","family":"Mishra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seema","family":"Chandra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9987-3933","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108-133","DOI":"10.1177\/0020731416664666","article-title":"Double Burden of Malnutrition.","volume":"47","author":"V Kulkarni","year":"2016 Sep 15 cited 2022 Dec 30"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"541-550","DOI":"10.1111\/nure.12130","article-title":"Prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents of the indian subcontinent: A meta-analysis.","volume":"72","author":"M Hoque","year":"2014","journal-title":"Nutr.
