405A: Building on Evidence: Landscape for Health

October 05, 2016

4:15pm-4:30pm

Student Ignite

Does landscape influence health outcomes of various population groups in urban areas?  This presentation will describe existing research evidence on the topic and a framework of my research design that examines how landscape in urban settings may influence older adults and their care providers.  The research design will include the ways in which outcomes will be measure quantitatively and qualitatively, in a mixed method approach.  Landscape is characterized by natural environments, including vegetation, natural daylight, and natural ventilation.  Can evidence-based research guide healthy community designs to optimize population health outcomes?
