If obesity does impair educational attainment and affect respiratory health this will give families, schools, and policymakers (in Education) a much greater stake in obesity prevention in future. The project will establish new Strathclyde collaborations, produce two papers, and provide a foundation for future external applications. 14-Jan-2014 - 14-Jan-2014 Epsrc Doctoral Training Grant | Carragher, Raymond Bernard Robertson, Chris (Principal Investigator) Young, David (Co-investigator) Carragher, Raymond Bernard (Research Co-investigator) 01-Jan-2013 - 19-Jan-2017 Doctoral Training Grant 2010 | Ross, David Kelly, Louise (Principal Investigator) Young, David (Co-investigator) Ross, David (Research Co-investigator) 01-Jan-2010 - 25-Jan-2016 Developing an infancy feeding and eating scale Young, David (Principal Investigator) 01-Jan-2007 - 31-Jan-2008
