Thesis Title: Social Determinants and Measurement of Adolescent Physical Activity Levels
Adolescence is an important developmental phase for children to learn how to adopt and maintain a healthy lifestyle, in which physical activity constitutes a major aspect of. Children growing up in diverse households are more likely to face time constraints, and lack financial resources, parental involvement and general support towards activities that aim to promote a healthier lifestyle, such as physical activity.
I am currently working on a systematic review on the impact of family structure on adolescent physical activity levels and a SEM analysis of the MCS Wave 6 survey, time diary and accelerometer data, to explore differences between physical activity measures based on different family structures and other potential confounding factors.
