Deprivation amplification revisited; or, is it always true that poorer places have poorer access to resources for healthy diets and physical activity?
by Sally Macintyre
ISBNPA was formed in 2000 to address the professional interests of researchers from multiple disciplines engaged in investigating behavioral issues in nutrition and physical activity.
Our members include leaders in behavioral nutrition and physical activity research from major universities, medical schools and industry, whose research efforts include increasing our understanding of the determinants of healthy eating and physical activity behaviors and the development of successful intervention programs.
