Request for Literature:
We are conducting a literature review (academic and grey) on the impact of built environment features on physical activity and/or healthy eating and/or health equity in rural, remote, and northern communities. This project is funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada. The final product will be a knowledge synthesis report that includes an annotated biography. This report has the potential to provide guidance in addressing the unique challenges and needs that these communities face in improving the health outcomes of their populations. In addition to conducting a search for peer-reviewed literature in databases (e.g. PsychoINFO, MEDLINE) we are also seeking practitioner and/or academic input.
REQUEST: If you are aware of academic literature OR grey literature (reports, conference proceedings, dissertations and theses and white papers) on this topic, please send us a link or reference information to Kim Bergeron @ kim@buildingbetter.biz by March 8, 2013.
Please disseminate this request widely.
Sincerely,
Kim Bergeron and Sue Cragg Research Consultants
