| Overview of Workshop: |
There is abundant evidence showing that people in communities with access to parks, sporting grounds and other open spaces are more likely to be physically active. In this context increasing physical activity is directly linked with the health of the environment and the maintenance of adequate parks and open space. It is essential to develop open space strategies that reflect the needs of diverse communities and inspire greater appreciation of natural and cultural values as the foundation for healthy communities.
The aim of the workshop is to increase awareness of and discover practical applications for the planning of open space in new suburbs and in areas where densities are experiencing increasing growth. Discover how innovative programs, projects and new partnerships are a key to planning for and activating places and spaces to encourage community engagement in parks for health and wellbeing outcomes.

This workshop aims to provide a conceptual overview of recent initiatives using advanced technologies to enhance assessment of diet, and physical activity, and the NIH-GEI approach to developing such technologies. It will also provide an overview of objectives and operating algorithms of each of five new methods of assessing diet, physical activity, and integrating objective data systems. Participants will be able to interact with the latest systems and discuss possibilities of using them in existing studies.

| Overview
of Workshop: |
Clarifying mechanisms by identifying how (i.e. analyses of mediators) and for whom (i.e. analyses of moderators) physical activity and dietary behaviour change can be achieved is crucial for demonstrating causality and designing optimal intervention programmes. The main aims of this workshop is to present the basic theoretical framework and concepts underlying mediation and moderation analyses; demonstrate and practice how these can be conducted using various standard statistical software; and provide recommendations for correctly interpreting findings and reporting them in a scientific article. |
| Requirement: |
Each participant will be required to bring their own laptops and have SPSS, R and/or Stata software loaded onto their computer beforehand. There will not be any access to computers or the software at the workshop.
