Challenges and opportunities for conducting physical activity research in the Latin American context

The project “Challenges and opportunities for conducting physical activity research in the Latin American context” consists of a capacity building experience, in which an international PhD candidate in Epidemiology, member of the Healthy Active Living and Obesity research group, will spend 4 months in a research internship that will allow her to be involved in the different stages of conducting research projects in physical activity in the National Institute of Public Health in Mexico (INSP). The project will adjust to the current research projects developed at the Center for Nutrition and Health Research at the INSP and will include the participation in two important courses offered by the INSP: “Research and advocacy for policies in public health”, and “Physical Activity and Public Health”. The outcomes of the project will include protocols, reports, data collected, and one research manuscript.
