Completing degree requirements for thesis programs.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Congratulations on successfully defending your thesis!

There are a few more steps to complete your degree requirements and be eligible to graduate in the next convocation ceremony.

In most cases, you have completed your degree requirements once you have submitted your defended, correctly formatted thesis to the U of T ProQuest thesis submission site, containing all corrections as agreed upon by your final oral examination committee or supervisor.

Please take the following steps to ensure completion of all requirements:

• Make any corrections or modifications to the thesis as required by your supervisor or final oral examination committee.
• Ensure that you have obtained confirmation from your supervisor/sub-committee that you have successfully completed all required edits.
• If applicable, submit an electronic copy of the “ restrict release ” form.
• Follow the formatting guidelines.
• Follow the proper file naming convention when naming your thesis: e.g., Doe_John_20205_PhD_thesis.pdf (20201 indicates a March convocation, 20205 indicates a June convocation, and 20209 indicates a November convocation).
• Submit your thesis as a PDF document to the U of T ProQuest thesis submission site . Copy and paste the indicated copyright permissions to the thesis repository when submitting your thesis, if applicable. You wi​ll be invited to order bound copies through the ProQuest thesis submission interface, but this involves time delays and added expense, so we strongly recommend having your thesis bound locally .
• Receive notification of your submission from SGS, who will send you an email once we have checked the thesis formatting.
• If applicable, submit a bound copy of your thesis to your graduate unit.
• ​Keep your contact information up-to-date in ACORN​ ; the Office of Convocation will communicate with you through your U of T email address.

• Misuse and overconsumption of certain consumer products have become major global risk factors for premature deaths, with their total costs in trillions of dollars. Progress in reducing such deaths has been slow and difficult. To address this challenge, this review introduces the definition of market-driven epidemics (MDEs), which arise when companies aggressively market products with proven harms, deny these harms, and resist mitigation efforts. MDEs are a specific within the broader landscape of commercial determinants of health. We selected three illustrative MDE products reflecting different consumer experiences: cigarettes (nicotine delivery product), sugar (food product), and prescription opioids (medical product). Each met the MDE case definition with proven adverse health impacts, well-documented histories, longitudinal product consumption and health impact data, and sustained reduction in product consumption. Based on these epidemics, we describe five MDE phases: market expansion, evidence of harm, corporate resistance, mitigation, and market adaptation. From the peak of consumption to the most recent data, U.S. cigarette sales fell by 82%, sugar consumption by 15%, and prescription opioid prescriptions by 62%. For each, the consumption tipping point occurred when compelling evidence of harm, professional alarm, and an authoritative public health voice and/or public mobilization overcame corporate marketing and resistance efforts. The gap between suspicion of harm and the consumption tipping point ranged from one to five decades–much of which was attributable to the time required to generate sufficient evidence of harm. Market adaptation to the reduced consumption of target products had both negative and positive impacts. To our knowledge, this is the first comparative analysis of three successful efforts to change the product consumption patterns and the associated adverse health impacts of these products. The MDE epidemiological approach of shortening the latent time to effective mitigation provides a new method to reduce the impacts of harmful products.
