Muhajarine talks to CBC about built environment project

Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine of kidSKAN spoke to the CBC Radio Morning Edition’s Sheila Coles in September about the Smart Cities, Healthy Kids project.

We’ve obtained the interview from CBC and have added photographs and video from the project. The interview can be found on the kidSKAN YouTube channel.

Does where we live influence how active our kids are?

That’s the big question researchers from the Saskatchewan Population Health and Evaluation Research Unit (SPHERU) are asking in the three-year, multi-phase Smart Cities, Healthy Kids study.

We’ve put together a short video about the study for the kidSKAN YouTube channel as an introduction. (The study is also featured in the Alberta Centre for Active Living's September newsletter. The article is co-authored by kidSKAN's Dr. Nazeem Muhajarine, who leads SPHERU's Healthy Children research team, and Tracy Ridalls, Research Coordinator for the Smart Cities Healthy project.)

A new study by the Saskatchewan Population Health Evaluation and Research Unit (SPHERU) examines how where we live can affect what access we have to healthy food and, in turn, what kids are actually eating.

As an introduction, we’ve put a short video about the project on the kidSKAN YouTube channel.
