📢Our menu healthiness paper is featured on the Guardian! The study highlights ‘double burden’ of unhealthy food environment in deprived areas, where there are more outlets and these tend to be less healthy. theguardian.com/society/2024… #inequality #PublicHealth

Unhealthiest UK restaurants and takeaways ‘more likely to be found in deprived areas’

This was an absolute pleasure to do. The research I mostly talk about is freely available at doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2023… , and would not have been possible without @jennapanter, @dbogilvie and @anthonylav.

A very interesting and useful review of whether active transport modes displaces other physical activity. dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jth.202…

They conclude: "...current evidence suggests that among adults, there is little or no compensatory reduction in physical activity in other domains in response to increases in active transport use, with the possible exception of older population groups."

Is you're interested in evaluation, behaviour change, physical activity or travel behaviour, you should definitely apply for one of these jobs. The work is mixed methods, but there is a job that's mostly quant and one that's mostly qual. jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/41677/

Ever wonder how to visually present research evidence synthesised in systematic reviews using harvest plots? @RichardPatter and I put together this tutorial in R to help you create your own harvest plots: medium.com/p/75fb45c8f393

Our new paper looks at the equity impacts of cycling investment in England. We found gender difference in the impacts of cycling investment. Age and socio-economic differences were less clear. doi.org/10.1016/j.ssmph.2023…

We conclude that potential gender differences in the determinants of transport mode choice should be considered in the design and evaluation of future interventions to promote cycling.

Thanks go to my magnificent co-authors @dbogilvie @anthonylav and @jennapanter. Anna Goodman was extremely helpful, as was Aly and the rest of the team at @celsiusnews who supported my use of the ONS-Longitudinal Study (again).
