Abstract

This presentation will review our research results about the effectiveness of the PiaT process to improve health and community perceptions among youth. This presentation will also describe the results of interviews, surveys, and Ecological Momentary Analyses that identify if participating in PiaT- the building of the park or the Park Ambassador program- has impacted the health and community perceptions among participants.
