Our focus group will provide participants the opportunity to share personal recommendations for improving physical activity participation at UBC. The focus group will take place on either November 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 6th.

2. Cultural, Gender-based and Social Barriers
In collaboration with UBC SEEDS, the purpose of our project is to explore and understand the perceived cultural, gender-based, and social barriers to physical activity for UBC students self-identifying as female and Chinese (including Taiwanese, Hong Kong and Macao). The students’ experiences, ideas, and values will be collected through a focus group session that will last approximately 1.5 hours.
