Coupled with a broader research interest in public health, Dr. Faulkner’s research has focused on two inter-related themes: the development and evaluation of physical activity interventions; and physical activity and mental health. He was founding editor of the journal ‘Mental Health and Physical Activity’, which fosters the inter-disciplinary development of this research field. He led the development of, and currently coordinates, the Canadian Campus Wellbeing Survey, which is a health and wellbeing surveillance platform for the postsecondary sector.
