The Transport and Health Integrated research NetworK (THINK)

THINK brings together people working in transport and health from policy, practice and academia, developing skills, experience and knowledge, generating new practice-orientated research and getting research into practice.

THINK is for practitioners, policy makers, third-sector organisations and academics to come together to work closely, or indirectly, in areas that impact both transport and health. The public will have many opportunities to be involved in THINK activities, which strive to be participatory.  

THINK is developing knowledge and practice in four specific inter-related areas of transport and mobility and health and wellbeing:

  1. the impact of vehicles on health due to air and noise pollution
  2. injuries and deaths stemming from vehicle crashes
  3. the impact of active travel (walking and cycling) on health
  4. the impact of vehicles on community health and wellbeing including community severance (the impact of vehicles dividing communities)

THINK’s work will address each of these across the life course and examine in detail inequalities, from the perspective of mobilities, safe systems and healthy places approaches.

A diagram showing who the different aspects of THINK such as safety, being active, pollution and community fit together supported by the three pillars of THINK which are the THINK Foundry, Academy and Participate pillars.

Transport and Health Integrated research NetworK – THINK Podcast

THINK is a collaboration between the psychology department of Aberystwyth University and Public Health Wales, and is funded by Health and Care Research Wales to improve health outcomes for all, in relation to transport. The network is made up of individuals working in academic, practitioner, policy or charity roles across different areas of transport and health. THINK facilitates research, training and seminars to develop knowledge and provide opportunities to work collaboratively across four different themes – air and noise pollution; injuries and deaths stemming from vehicle crashes; the impact of active travel (walking and cycling) on health; and the impact of vehicles dividing communities. You can sign up as a member of THINK for free on the website https://think.aber.ac.uk/sign-up/ or follow us @TransportHealth
