@AndrStevenson shows that higher fastfood/restaurant mix is associated with higher rates of hypertension among Canadian adults using high-quality food environment data at @imgs2022 #IMGS2022
We've made a short video to highlight the impact that research in @geodatascience@livunigeog is having featuring our work (@etc_ellen and I) on health inequalities. Geographers bring valuable skills for tackling real world issues that make a difference https://t.co/dOrkJHR81h
Proud to share our publication in Health reports on the development and validity of the Canadian Food Environment Dataset (Can-FED). Can-FED is a dataset of food environment measures now available at every Research Data Centre in Canada for data linkage. https://t.co/fT5GN9lIDT…
Happy to have my PhD work featured in the @McGillREPORTER article on the new McGill Research Data Centre. The RDC allows me to link environmental data with rich individual-level health and sociodemographic survey data. Great opportunity for researchers! https://t.co/vuiuLEWAtk
