Equipping the Physical Activity Workforce for Breakthroughs in Public Health Research

Researchers have demonstrated, and the public accepts, that physical activity protects against a multitude of poor health outcomes and that intervention can modify physical activity behavior. The ubiquity of powerful technology has created expectations for novel insights using complex data; however, the predominant methods of normal science beat researchers back into well-trodden cognitive and analytic models. How might we outfit ourselves for discovery in physical activity and public health?

Experts from the National Cancer Institute, Michigan State University, University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, Arizona State University, and University of Southern California discuss these and other topics in this 1-hour webinar.
