Hannah Badland

Hannah is a Senior Research Fellow at the McCaughey VicHealth Community Wellbeing Unit at The University of Melbourne. Her research focuses on examining and evaluating associations between health behaviours and outcomes, the physical urban environment, and transport at the neighbourhood-level in both children and adults. In parallel she is developing and testing conceptual frameworks to identify ecological associations with social determinants of health, wellbeing, and inequalities over time. This work falls under a broader umbrella of liveability, where Hannah is developing a series of spatial built environment indicators to test these associations. Together, this work seeks to inform both methodology and policy related to developing healthy communities
