About the webinar
In our latest GRACE-Epi Monthly Methods webinar we were joined by the team behind WE-EngAGE, a collaboration between UCL and The University of Edinburgh.
Researchers shared how leisure activities shape mental, physical, and cognitive wellbeing in later life, and the barriers and enablers that influence participation. A variety of approaches were used — from analyses of existing cohort data to rich qualitative insights from focus groups and quantitative results from primary data collection. Speakers also highlighted the implications of research for practice, policy, and future studies, translating evidence into meaningful impact for older adults.
Speakers:
- Dr Hei Wan Mak, UCL
- Dr Saoirse Finn, UCL
- Dr Olivia Turner, University of Edinburgh
- Dr Katey Warran, University of Edinburgh
- Dr Harriet Radermacher, Third Age Trust
