Overview

Gavin Turrell is affiliated with RMIT University in Australia and has contributed extensively to social sciences, focusing particularly on urban transport, health disparities, and physical activity. Their body of work spans multiple interrelated subfields such as transportation, public health, environmental health, and sociology.

Their research frequently explores themes around urban transport and accessibility, health disparities and outcomes, urban green space and health, obesity and physical activity, noise effects and management, as well as neighborhood and segregation studies. These topics reflect a multidisciplinary approach to understanding how urban environments influence health and wellbeing.

Turrell's recent publications include:

  • Positive HABITATS for physical activity: Examining use of parks and its contribution to physical activity levels in mid-to older-aged adults (2020, Health & Place)
  • Cohort Profile: HABITAT-a longitudinal multilevel study of physical activity, sedentary behaviour and health and functioning in mid-to-late adulthood (2020, International Journal of Epidemiology)
  • Children's neighbourhood physical environment and early development: an individual child level linked data study (2020, Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health)
  • Spatial and socioeconomic inequities in liveability in Australia's 21 largest cities: Does city size matter? (2022, Health & Place)
  • Associations of time spent gardening with mental wellbeing and life satisfaction in mid-to-late adulthood (2023, Journal of Environmental Psychology)

Their research has appeared most frequently in the following journals:

  • Health & Place (8 publications)
  • BMC Public Health (5 publications)
  • International Journal of Epidemiology (3 publications)
  • Cities & Health (3 publications)
  • Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health (2 publications)

Collaboratively, Turrell has worked with several coauthors on multiple projects, including Billie Giles-Corti (11 publications), Jerome N. Rachele (10 publications), Sarah Foster (8 publications), Nicola W. Burton (7 publications), and Lucy Gunn (6 publications). These collaborations underline a broad network within public health and urban studies research communities.

Gavin Turrell's research contributions focus on the interplay between physical environments, social factors, and health outcomes, emphasizing longitudinal and multilevel studies that analyze patterns in mid-to-late adulthood populations. This work supports a comprehensive understanding of how neighborhood characteristics and urban design impact physical activity and wellbeing across the life course.
