Study Poster and Information
What is the MAPS research study?
Big changes are happening to neighborhoods around North Temple. MAPS--the Moving Across Places Study—from the University of Utah measures how these changes alter travel and activity patterns and residents’ perceptions and feelings about their neighborhoods. Even if you don’t travel along North Temple now, we want to see how neighborhood changes relate to your travel and activity patterns.
Eligible participants completed surveys about perceptions of their neighborhoods, activity patterns, and individual characteristics. All responses remained confidential.
Who conducted the research?
The research was conducted by faculty, students, and employees from the University of Utah. It was sponsored by the National Cancer Institute.
