Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion

The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.

Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:

  • Correct any misunderstandings
  • Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
  • Support discussions where official clarification is needed

Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.

Thank you for being part of the conversation.

    Hello @danielle Independent third party lifestyle apps may be promoted within branded apps if they do not contradict copy within the brands TMA. PAAB would ask to see the app content to ensure the link is acceptable. The review of linked 3rd party apps focused on lifestyle and nutrition vs lifestyle, nutrition and disease information is not different however there is increased opportunity for content which is not acceptable to arise when disease information is discussed. Additional clarification would be required on the last question that would be better suited for an opinion submission so that all aspects of the activity can be assessed. For example, is the 3rd party app only accessible through the PSP (not open to the public)? When this is the case, clarity over influence, sponsorship and distribution may impact if the content requires PAAB review.
