CIHW is excited to announce the launch of a new research study titled "Enhancing Type 2 Diabetes Prevention Among Young Adults in Peel: Mapping and Understanding Access to Physical Activity and Nutritional Supports."

The study aims to understand how young adults in the Peel Region experience access to healthy food and recreation, and to determine how these experiences match or differ from areas known as food and recreation deserts.

This research study is led by a collaborative team from the University of Toronto, Humber Polytechnic, and Sheridan College. The project is funded by a Catalyst Grant from the Novo Nordisk Network for Healthy Populations at the University of Toronto. 

We are seeking student participants and ask faculty and staff to please share the attached poster with students in your classes, departments, or through your regular communication channels.

• Aged 18 to 24
