Increasing Physical Activity through Active Travel - Year 3
People Involved
Project Description
A major element of the project is to help increase total physical activity time through active travel across the population. Research interests include:
- translational research to ensure the evidence–base on transport, the built environment and health is accessible and accounted for in public policy decision-making;
- the application of public health approaches to the meaning and use of evidence in transport planning
There is a particular focus on reducing health inequalities through reaching less active groups across the population.
This year will include further training sessions for Scottish highway authorities - the first event was successfully held on-line in November 2021 and there is a waiting list for local authority staff wanting to attend a future event.
