Research Presentations & Conferences Updates

STRIDE personnel were active in local research conferences and presentations this spring. STRIDE advisory board member Jeff Olds was a judge at the 31st annual California State University Student Research Competition, held at Cal Poly in April. The 245 participants in the statewide competition submitted a five-page research report and gave oral presentations before a panel of judges. They were judged on clarity of purpose, appropriateness of methodology, interpretation of results, articulation of research and ability to field questions from the jury and audience.

Faculty affiliate William Riggs presented results from his STRIDE Seed Funding initiative study, “Perceptions of Safety and Cycling Behavior: Implications for Street Design in the US,” at the Scientists for Cycling conference in the Netherlands. Results underscored that parental perceptions of safety vary and significantly influence child walking and biking behaviors.
