Grand Rounds: The impact of transportation infrastructure on the risk of injuries to cyclists
October 19, 2012 9:00 AM
This talk will present the results of a multi-center case-crossover study of the influence of route design on cycling injuries. It will describe how the study design controls for both exposure to risk and personal and trip characteristics, to allow the focus to be on infrastructure. Cycling injuries in British Columbia will be put in context, by comparing them to injuries incurred via other modes of travel, to cycling injuries in other countries, and to the health benefits of cycling.

Speaker: Dr. Kay Teschke
Kay Teschke is Professor in the School of Population and Public Health, in the Occupational and Environmental Health Theme. For the last 9 years, she has led the Cycling in Cities Research Program, a multi-university program of research investigating factors that encourage or discourage bicycling & that increase or decrease cycling safety.
