“Negative energy is released with the help of sports and activities”
Despite growing interest in urbanization and health, little is known about how high-rise and high-density neighbourhoods affect adolescent health. To conduct a novel, in-depth investigation, we applied the concept of ‘health capital’ (i.e., resources individuals can use that impact their health) to explore this relationship. Six focus groups and participatory geomapping activities with adolescents (n = 19) in two Canadian cities (Kitchener-Waterl…
“I like seeing people, different cultures, and hearing different music”
Due to urbanization more young people will live in high-rises and dense urban areas. • We explored teen perspectives (n = 22) of healthy high-rise and dense area designs. • Social, cultural sites; unique places; and multipurpose designs supported health. • Crowded places, weak social connectivity, and poor transport designs abated health. • Urban designers might consider social/cultural activity sites, connectivity designs. As countries continue …
Assessing the Validity of OpenStreetMap for Food Environment Research
This study assessed agreement between food environment measures derived from OpenStreetMap (OSM) data, a commercial dataset, and an administrative dataset (the Canadian Food Environment Dataset, Can‐FED) to better understand the suitability of OSM food‐related data for food environment research. We calculated Spearman's correlations between continuous retail food environment measures in Can‐FED and those derived from OSM and DMTI Spatial. Additio…

Geographies of grocery shopping in major Canadian cities
Socioeconomic and place-based factors contribute to grocery shopping patterns which may be important for diet and health. Big data provide the opportunity to explore behaviours at the population level. We used data collected from Flipp, a free all-in-one savings and deals content app, to identify visitation to grocery stores and estimate home-to-store distances, monthly frequencies and number of unique stores visited in eight Canadian cities duri…
Integrating coordination of food purchasing into activity space-based food environment research
Time-Geographic Project of Household Food Provision
Geographers and health researchers routinely analyze data on food-related behaviors to understand potential relationships between the food environment and diet. Analytical uncertainties arise, however, from discounting the sequential connections and household coordination of various food tasks. This study employed the time-geographic construct of the project, which is defined as a series of goal-oriented activities conducted by one or more indivi…
Disentangling Time Use, Food Environment, and Food Behaviors Using Multi‐Channel Sequence Analysis
Geographic access to food retailers has long been considered an important determinant of food‐related behaviors. Despite methodological improvements in assessing food environments, their associations with food behaviors have remained inconsistent. We argue that one possible reason for these inconsistencies is the lack of information about how an individual’s time use dynamics play out in space. To this point, few studies on the combined effects o…
Who's cooking tonight? A time-use study of coupled adults in Toronto, Canada
Understanding how coupled adults arrange food-related labor in relation to their daily time allocation is of great importance because different arrangements may have implications for diet-related health and gender equity. Studies from the time-use perspective argue that daily activities such as work, caregiving, and non-food-related housework can potentially compete for time with foodwork. However, studies in this regard are mostly centered on in…
Comparing Household and Individual Measures of Access through a Food Environment Lens
Geographers and public health researchers have long been interested in social, spatial, and economic factors that drive access and exposure to food retail. A growing body of evidence draws on mobility data to capture locations accessed by individuals beyond the home address. Given that food-related activities are shared by household members and often gendered, taking an individual-level approach might limit researchers’ ability to accurately desc…
An exploration of how meal preparation activities relate to self-rated time pressure, stress, and health in Canada
While previous work has provided a foundation for understanding the importance of the links between time use and diet, there has been little done to link time use to health outcomes. In this study, time use and self-rated health variables from the 2015 Time Use Cycle of Statistics Canada's General Social Survey are used to explore whether there are direct associations between time spent on meal preparation and health for Canadian Adults. In addit…
Activity spaces in studies of the environment and physical activity
Activity spaces are increasingly used to understand how people interact with their environment and engage in activity but their use may raise challenges regarding causal inference. We conducted a systematic review of findings and the methodological, analytical and conceptual issues relevant to causal inference. Studies were included if they comprised a spatial summary of locations visited, assessed any part of the causal pathway between the envir…
Physical education contributes to total physical activity levels and predominantly in higher intensity physical activity categories
Children’s engagement in physical activity of a vigorous intensity or higher is more effective at promoting cardiorespiratory fitness than moderate physical activity. It remains unclear how higher intensity physical activity varies between days when schoolchildren participate in physical education (PE) and non-PE days. The purpose of this study was to assess how PE contributes to sedentary behaviour and the intensity profile of physical activity …
Physical activity levels and motivational responses of boys and girls
The purpose of this study was to independently determine the levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and self-determined motivation of both boys and girls as they participated in prolonged units of invasion games (i.e. 6–12 lessons) through two pedagogical models: direct instruction and the tactical games model (TGM). It was hypothesized that given the differences in domain interaction and lesson structure, both boys and girls wou…

Co‐marital sex and the sexual freedom movement∗
The two preceding presentations by Dr. O'Neill and Dr. Bartell have described sub-cultural variations in group activities in the New York City area and the Chicago suburbs, respectively. Each employed a different means of investigative access-the O'Neills using informal channels and the Bartells, at least initially, heavily relying on swingers' ads. Each used different criteria of sample selection. A most important distinction is that the Bartell…
