Physical activity and social connectedness interventions in outdoor spaces among children and youth: a rapid review.

There is a considerable need for more Canadian-specific research. Novel methods, such as incorporating smartphone technology into the design and evaluation of these interventions, warrant consideration. PMID: 32270668 [PubMed - in process]
