Dr. Negin Riazi is health promotion specialist at the University of British Columbia focusing on knowledge translation and exchange within Student Health & Wellbeing.
Dr. Riazi completed her PhD in the School of Kinesiology at The University of British Columbia with Dr. Guy Faulkner. Her research on children's physical activity had two main foci: children’s independent mobility and population-level physical activity initiatives and policy-level interventions. She completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in the Department of Health Sciences at Brock University. Her postdoctoral research focused on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and consequent schools closures/re-openings on adolescent mental health.
She is passionate about knowledge mobilization/translation and has been involved in several knowledge translation projects including: a) the translation of the Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for Children and Youth (5–17), b) the Early Years (0–4 years), c) independent mobility (see free documentary 'Running Free: Children's Independent Mobility' on YouTube), and more.
