The training is designed to educate investigators and practitioners on tangible skills used to measure aspects of built environment believed to have an effect on health. The week-long training will focus on physical activity environments, nutrition environments, geographic information system (GIS), database and survey analysis, economic analysis, and policy change.
Gretchen received a full scholarship from the BEAT Institute to cover the cost of the training. The BEAT Institute is funded by The United States Department of Agriculture, with collaboration from the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Health Behavior Research and Harvard Prevention Research Center.
Check back to COPrevent in July for an update on Gretchen's key takeaways from the training.
