Combined associations of takeaway food availability and walkability with adiposity: Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses.

Background: Diet and physical activity are important determinants of energy balance, body weight and chronic health conditions. Peoples' health and behaviour are shaped by their environment. For example, the availability of unhealthy takeaway food in residential neighbourhoods and the ability to easily walk to a range of local destinations (high "walkability") influence diets and physical activity levels.

Development and application of the Demands for Population Health Interventions (Depth) framework for categorising the agentic demands of population health interventions.

Background: The 'agentic demand' of population health interventions (PHIs) refers to the capacity, resources and freedom to act that interventions demand of their recipients to benefit, which have a socio-economical pattern. Highly agentic interventions, e.g.

Understanding how and why travel mode changes: analysis of longitudinal qualitative interviews.

Background: Encouraging alternatives to the car such as walking, cycling or public transport is a key cross-sector policy priority to promote population and planetary health. Individual travel choices are shaped by individual and environmental contexts, and changes in these contexts - triggered by key events - can translate to changes in travel mode. Understanding how and why these changes happen can help uncover more generalisable findings to inform future intervention research.

Exploring residential relocation- differences between newcomers and settled residents in health, travel behaviour and neighbourhood perceptions.

This study explores whether people who have recently moved to an area differ from longer-term residents in their health, travel behaviour, and perceptions of the environment. Using a large, representative sample from the UKHLS, Newcomers demonstrate significantly lower mental and physical health, reduced car commuting, and a higher likelihood of liking their neighbourhood. Area deprivation, urbanicity, household income, and age emerge as influential moderators with i.

Explaining differential socioeconomic effects in population health interventions: development and application of a new tool to classify intervention agentic demand.

Background: The agentic demand of population health interventions (PHIs) might influence how interventions work. Highly agentic interventions (eg, information campaigns) rely on recipients noticing and responding to the intervention. Resources required for individuals to benefit from highly agentic interventions have a socioeconomical pattern, thus agentic demand might affect intervention effectiveness and equity.
