Did you know that Asian female students at UBC have lower levels of physical activity?

We need to know what this population wants to create the best possible opportunities for participating in recreation. We’ve launched a survey to hear what’s needed and we’re seeking your help in distributing this survey to students. Students who complete the survey will have the option to be entered into a draw to win one of the following prizes: $50 and $100 Visa® Gift Cards, Fit Bit®, $100 voucher for UBC Recreation Services, or a lululemon® yoga mat. The survey takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete.

Can you please send this survey link to your students via email and/or post to social media?  If you’re not able to assist with distributing the link, could you please let me know who I should contact for help? Survey link: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7UmlBqMoQOvqfvn

I’ve attached a template that you can share to your students. See below.

Additional details about the Equity Inclusion Project are below for your reference.

Equity Inclusion Project Background:

Findings from the 2018 Undergraduate Experience Survey (UES) indicate that UBC Asian female students are underrepresented in recreational participation and have lower rates of physical activity. To address this discrepancy and encourage exercise, the Physical Activity Office is developing an initiative to address barriers promote physical activity for Asian female students on the UBC Vancouver Campus. We are conducting surveys with UBC students who self-identify as Asian female in order to identify the barriers and facilitating factors for participating in physical activity and recreation on campus. This information is crucial in helping to develop programs and opportunities using information directly provided by students.~
