RIVM has calculated the societal costs and benefits of a group‑based programme for parents. This programme is intended for parents whose children (aged 2–12 years) are at increased risk of developing a behavioural disorder.

The government is considering introducing a sugar tax on food products. RIVM has examined two possible options for such a tax: one on products containing at least six grams of sugar per 100 grams (the 6% variant) and another on those containing at least 20 grams of sugar per 100 grams (the 20% variant). The study shows what proportion of the sugars consumed in the Netherlands would then be taxed.
