Parks For Kids: Translating Evidence for Design, Advocacy, and Policymaking
The purpose of this project was to supplement three ALR grants that studied park setting and design on actual park use. This Research Translation project focused on increased dissemination of the grants' results by repackaging findings to provide guidance to design professionals involved in policy, planning, design, and programming of urban parks to prevent childhood obesity. Deliverables included a white paper summarizing the results from the three ALR grants as well as a video to promote the translation of research to policy.
I-PARK: Parks for Kids: A 6-minute video translation project interpreting research findings from a multi-disciplinary team at NC State University investigating local park use in Durham North Carolina. Findings include recommendations for adapting existing local parks, and their neighborhood infrastructure, to promote an active lifestyle.
