Healthy Bodies
The Healthy Bodies topic aims to co-produce scalable community and system interventions to tackle the child and family obesity crisis. It seeks to support the optimum physical health of children and families including prevention of obesity.
Healthy Bodies projects include:

PhD: Exploring how citizen science can be used to improve health
This project will be using citizen science to investigate the barriers and facilitators to children and families taking part in physical activity in Bradford as part of the JU:MP program. Through this we hope to develop a toolkit to help citizen scientists make positive health changes for themselves and their community.
