Dr. Schmid is Senior

how urban design and transportation infrastructures influence
levels of physical activity and health in the community. Examples
of basic research supported by ACES include the development
of walkability audit tools and measuring the effects of community
design on levels of walking, biking and health conditions such
as obesity. Applied examples include the Kids-Walk-to School
program and efforts in Connecticut to rehabilitate a city park
and
trail. Dr. Schmid also provides technical assistance in the
design, implementation and evaluation of health programs to
domestic and international agencies. Recent examples of international
