University of Saskatchewan
$100,000.00
KT activities for Smart Cities Healthy Kids project [Working Upstream: Effecting Healthy Children]
FY 2010-11
Summary
Description of the proposed KT activities/strategies: Our proposed activities consist of developing communication products (plain language materials, videos) targeted at different audiences, holding workshops designed to increase understanding of how the built environment impacts children's active lifestyles, and then to evaluate our effectiveness in KT by assessing whether these activities, and the project itself, has resulted in changes. By disseminating our results widely and purposefully to professionals working in urban planning and health promotion, and to those working in local government in addition to community members and laypeople, we expect to stimulate discussion and increase awareness of how we can modify the built environment to promote children's physical activity, ultimately leading to policy and practice change.
