Environment and Health: Linking the natural and built environment with human well-being
Environment and Health: What are the Connections?
Assistant Professor Nancy Wells is an environmental psychologist in the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis and the Bronfenbrenner Life Course Center. She studies people’s relationship to the built and natural environment through the life course.
Her current projects are of particular interest to family and consumer science practitioners, 4-H youth educators, and those concerned with the environment, physical activity, diet, and health:
- a natural experiment to examine how community design features are associated with physical activity among low-income women;
- a study examining linkages between the nearby food environment and shopping behaviors, nutritional knowledge, and diet; and
- studies of the effects of the natural environment on children’s cognitive, psychological, and physical well-being.
Her presentation Environment and Health: Linking the natural and built environment with human well-being is a PowerPoint with audio.
