On Monday 12th May the Glasgow Local Group of the RSS will host a seminar on the impact of regeneration and the Commonwealth Games 2014 on residents of the East End of Glasgow. All welcome, drinks & nibbles afterwards. Speakers: Ade Kearns and Julie Clark, University of Glasgow Summary: The GoWell East study aims to consider the effects that regeneration and the Commonwealth Games 2014 might have upon the quality of life and health and wellbeing of residents living in the six communities nearest to the main Games sites in the East End of Glasgow. This talk will describe the approach we are using to do this, within the three broad legacy domains of economic impact, sports participation and physical activity, and sustainability. Broadly, the methods comprise: a longitudinal survey of an adult resident cohort; a longitudinal survey of a pupil cohort; stakeholder interviews and workshop; qualitative interviews with residents; and an ecological study of secondary data on the physical, economic and social environments. At present, we are conducting a prospective assessment of the potential for intervention impacts within and upon the study area, and the framework used for this will be explained. Date: Monday 12th May Time: 15.00-16.00, followed by drinks and nibbles. Place: Room 203, Maths Building, University of Glasgow, G12 8QW.
