Eydie Kramer-Kostecka, PhD, a recent alumna of the School of Kinesiology, is first author on "Park Acreage and Physical Activity Among Adolescents Living in Green Cities: Conceptualizing Urban Park Oases and Centering Equity." The research article appears ahead-of-print in Environmental Justice. The paper, authored with colleagues including SoK alumna Sarah Kaja, PhD (Pediatrics), and former associate professor Daheia Barr-Anderson, PhD (UNC Charlotte), examines the cross-sectional relationship between park space and physical activity among adolescents in the population-based EAT (Eating and Activity Across Time) 2010 study.
