Walking for Wellness
Our special UHealth guest is Dr. Scott Brown. Ph.D, a researcher from UM’s Department of Health Sciences, who will be discussing a just-released study on walking.
Dr. Brown’s research examines the role of neighborhood conditions – including the built (physical) environment and social environment – in residents’ behaviors and health. For the past seven years, he has been the Project Director of a study funded by the National Institute on Aging, which examines the relationship of the built environment to Hispanic elders’ social behaviors and their cognitive, affective, and physical functioning.
Dr. Brown has a general interest in the impacts of neighborhood physical and social environments on residents’ health and well-being across the lifespan.
