How do neighbourhood environments shape adolescent health?

与营养相关的健康问题在澳大利亚的高度流行，突显了人们对饮食模式的日益担忧。为了促进我们对饮食行为决定因素的理解，有必要考虑环境对饮食摄入量的影响方式。我计划在这项研究中进行一项研究，目的是在儿童从青春期过渡到成年的过程中，就社区环境是否会影响食物和酒精的消费模式以及肥胖风险，产生与政策相关的证据。

The high prevalence of nutrition-related health problems in Australia underscores the growing concern about eating patterns. In order to advance our understanding of the determinants of eating behaviour it is necessary to consider the way the environment impacts on dietary intake. My planned research within this fellowship aims to generate policy relevant evidence on whether neighbourhood environments impact on food and alcohol consumption patterns as well as obesity risk as children transition from adolescence to adulthood.
