Experiences and socio-environmental contexts in the lead-up to psychosis: a qualitative analysis of the narratives of persons with psychosis from different ethnic, racial and immigrant backgrounds Open
Introduction Previous research, predominantly quantitative, has attributed the excess risk for psychosis among immigrants and ethnic minorities to social adversity, discrimination and structural inequities. Although calls have acknowledged…

Shifting car travel to active modes to improve population health and achieve transport goals: A simulation study Open
Being physically active has multiple health benefits and contributes to the reduction of co-morbidities and mortality from chronic diseases. Active transport (walking and cycling) contributes to population health by enabling physical activ…

Liveability research creating real world impact: connecting urban planning and public health through the Australian Urban Observatory Open
Urbanisation is occurring globally and rapidly with potential to compromise the development of sustainable, liveable and healthy cities. Urban observatories have also existed for many years addressing a range of relevant urban issues. Thes…

Policy-Relevant Spatial Indicators of Urban Liveability And Sustainability: Scaling From Local to Global Open
Urban liveability is a global priority for creating healthy, sustainable cities. Measurement of policy-relevant spatial indicators of the built and natural environment supports city planning at all levels of government. Analysis of their s…

Integrating spatially detailed micro-environmental attributes to a routable transport network for active travel modeling: A pilot study in Greater Manchester Open
Prior studies show that the Built Environment (BE) can influence route and mode choice, increasing the uptake of active modes and reducing car dominance. One of the main challenges in establishing such relationships between the BE and trav…

Achieving ‘Active’ 30 Minute Cities: How Feasible Is It to Reach Work within 30 Minutes Using Active Transport Modes? Open
Confronted with rapid urbanization, population growth, traffic congestion, and climate change, there is growing interest in creating cities that support active transport modes including walking, cycling, or public transport. The ‘30 minute…
