Abstract
During the Covid-19 pandemic, media headlines and emerging evidence have reported shifts in population behaviours such as substance use, food and alcohol consumption, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour.

Recommendations for policy prioritisation are provided to help mitigate downstream consequences and prevent widening health and social inequalities.
