Hey #southvancouver! We’re inviting youth living in South Hill, Moberly, Gordon Park, Nanaimo Park & Victoria-Fraserview to become community scientists in Youth.hood, a new study on social connectedness + community design. Learn more chatrlab.ca/projects/youthho… @southvanNH @ChatrLab
Flag to @DTSecondary, @JO_School, and Killarney Secondary - this is a great community engagement opportunity for youth in your school communities!
Excited to launch Youth.hood, a new study exploring how neighbourhood design shapes social connectedness for youth in #southvancouver chatrlab.ca/projects/youthho…. Grateful to be collaborating with our friends @southvanNH and for support from @SFU_CERi. @ChatrLab @SFU_FHS @sfuurban

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all of us, though, some more than others. The BC COVID-19 SPEAK Survey we funded last year showed one key group that was experiencing significant unintended consequences of the pandemic, #YoungAdults. Read more here: bit.ly/3nxBRDx

Thanks @keirjunos for highlighting our new @CDCofBC report examining the health and well-being impacts of the #COVID19 pandemic on young adults @SFU_FHS @SFUResearch @skye_barbic
A new report from the @CDCofBC shows the impact of the pandemic on those aged 18 to 30. As @KierJunos reports, young adults emerged as a group that suffered disproportionate impacts across a range of sectors.
From transit to parks to community centres, the pandemic impacted access to the everyday places and spaces that we rely on for health, connection, & mobility - especially for young adults. Read more in the new @CDCofBC report. Thx @HasinanisaH @ChatrLab for the opp to contribute.
New report: Young people disproportionately impacted by pandemic. It has disrupted the lives of people, aged 18 to 29, in ways that could have long-term impacts for young adults and the B.C. community as a whole ow.ly/6qn050FCvhp
Excited to share our new primer on the meaning + measurement + impacts of #socialconnectedness in cities - a #publichealth issue that has never felt more urgent: tandfonline.com/eprint/EIFTR…
@TeamInteractCA @ChatrLab @SFU_FHS @sfuurban @CitiesxHealth #healthycities #resilientcities
We synthesized the latest #urbanplanning + health literature to create this reference tool, with an aim to bring conceptual clarity to research + dialogue + action on social connectedness in cities. Thanks to co-authors @walkabilly @CaislinF @spherelabmtl @ChatrLab & Meg Holden!

New paper alert! Are they really interested but concerned? @ChatrLab PhD Student @kahosford used #mixedmethods to unpack the popular Geller bicycling typology. Survey-derived did not match how bicyclists see themselves. authors.elsevier.com/c/1bvjT…
Meridith Sones retweeted
What would it mean for urban planners to confess their love for the places they plan? @sfuurban director & professor Meg Holden writes in @ConversationCA about how loving our cities could help us build better ones in a post-#COVID19 world.

Enjoyed talking with @kahosford and Meghan Winters about their poster comparing Geller's typology and how people describe themselves as cyclists. Good to see @Why_Not_Bikes's ideas continuing to guide bike research conversations! #TRBAM

'We don't have a choice other than to be bold. We need to see these grandiose shifts toward walking, biking and transit because we simply don't have space to put more cars on the road.' -@SFU_FHS's Meghan Winters
