A current research project within our Lifelong health and wellbeing thread is investigating whether Commuting has an impact upon a person's health.
In this third episode in our podcast pilot, Professor Chris Dibben and Dr Laurie Berrie discuss with Renata Samulnik the value of using administrative data and linking datasets, in order to research whether:
- Commuting to work by bicycle can improve your health and how?
- What barriers stop people cycling to work in Glasgow and Edinburgh?
- Can these barriers be overcome and how?
- How our research can affect policy?
- What further research needs to be done in this area?
