National Survey of Children and Youth Shows COVID-19 Restrictions Linked with Adverse Behaviours

Congratulations to HALO Director Dr. Mark Tremblay on publishing the first paper from the ParticipACTION’s Survey that assessed COVID-19-related changes in movement and play behaviours! The national study partnered researchers from Outdoor Play Canada, ParticipACTION, and several universities from across Canada. The paper titled “Impact of the COVID-19 virus outbreak on movement and play behaviours of Canadian children and youth: a national survey” was published today and is the first of several scholarly papers from the research.
