The research focuses on active travel to school and on data from primary schools in Scotland. The Hands Up Scotland Survey (HUSS) is an official statistic on how children travel to school that is published annually by Scotland. The HUSS dataset is examined alongside three years of data on the delivery of interventions by Sustrans and partners, Scottish government data on deprivation and rural/urban categorisation and geo-spatial data to better understand the impact of Sustrans’ interventions on active travel to school, including how this is influenced by other factors. Seminar content: • To provide an overview of the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions on active travel to school in Scotland • Outline an understanding of other socio-demographic and geographic factors that influence active travel to school • Discuss methodological challenges in investigating school travel behaviour REGISTER HERE: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/active-travel-to-school-the-effectiveness-of-school-based-travel-interventions-tickets-38429181717
