讲座内容/ Abstract:

Daily travel is a potential major source of stress, and active travel has been associated with lower levels of stress compared to other travel modes. This talk will provide evidence in support of active travel policies using data collected as part of the Physical Activity through Sustainable Transport Approaches (PASTA) study, which collected data from 122 participants across 3 European cities. I will discuss some of the challenges of analysing observational data from the study, highlighting key results on the impacts of travel mode choices on objectively-measured stress using propensity score matching.
