Sarah Jones: 我最初对社区层面的活动和参与感兴趣,这引导我进入了公共卫生领域。我发现道路交通事故伤害与儿童的活动范围减少有关,因此我开始关注如何在鼓励人们步行和骑自行车的同时,减少道路交通的危害。此外,我还关注空气污染和噪音污染对居民的影响,特别是那些居住在道路附近的居民。我的目标是找到一种方法,既能促进社区活动,又能保护公众健康。

Shownotes Transcript

In September 2023, Wales passed legislation making the maximum speed limit 20mph in built-up areas. How are speed limits linked to public health? How can researchers engage with governments to enact public health research? And how do you deal with the situation when there is a huge online backlash to your work? Dr. Sarah Jones from Public Health Wales joins Gavin to discuss how her research was implemented, how it's gone so far, and what's next.
