"
My research focuses on the understanding and identification of determinants of quality of life and well-being for the minority population (for example, migrants).
There is an increasing need to adapt quality of life research to reflects the changing societal composition as well as the conceptualization of a good life."

Physical Activity Under Lockdown –
Will you help me with my research?
I am carrying out research looking at adults and physical activity during the Covid-19 pandemic lockdown. As part of that research I am carrying out a questionnaire and want to get as many responses as possible. Would you mind filling in the questionnaire and sharing it to others. Many thanks.
