Our new article published in @JPAHjournal used #systemsmapping to reconsider the social determinants of #physicalactivity and #sedentarybehavior. It was great to be part of this project with @ehps_synergy!

This week I will be heading to Cardiff, to join colleagues in considering an update to the #physicalactivity questions in the National Survey for Wales🏴. Can/should we encompass broader definitions, types, cultures and spaces of (in)activity?
Last recruitment call: looking to hear from disabled adults in the UK (with a clinical diagnosis and or a self diagnosis) about your thoughts about physical activity. Please see flyer and email [email protected] if interested. @FasdSalford
