Time as a barrier to healthy and active living

Lack of time has become the key barrier for people making the healthy behaviour changes necessary for preventing chronic disease and promoting their mental and physical wellbeing. This proposal will provide a review of the published literature on initiatives, interventions and policies for overcoming time barriers to services, treatment, exercise and healthy living. We consider potential precedents in portfolios that include service delivery, health, urban planning and transport, and social and economic policy. A report will be provided to ACT Health summarising the analysis of the literature.
