About
The Pediatric Physical Activity lab, led by Dr. Sofiya Alhassan, focuses on utilizing community family-based physical activity interventions to improve physical and cognitive outcomes in underserved pediatric populations. Dr. Alhassan’s lab also examines 1) physical activity policy-based intervention in preschool-age children; 2) environmental influences on various health behaviors in children of color, and 3) after-school family-based intervention to improve physiological, psychosocial, and academic performance of pre-adolescent children of color.
