What is the food environment like around London schools? 🚸 On average, children encounter 5 fast-food outlets within a 10-minute walk. But in the most deprived areas, they’re exposed to 3x more - and they’re often less healthy 📊🌍 At #PHSci? Come chat to me about our research.

New paper finds smoking rates in the north of England fell faster than the national average between 2006-2024, narrowing geographic inequalities in smoking prevalence. Regional tobacco control programmes appeared to contribute to this progress. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ad…
