How your suburb could be harmful or helpful to your health

From Afternoons, 1:33 pm on 2 March 2022

New research has mapped out how different New Zealand suburbs can impact our physical and mental health, for better or worse.

The study was led by University of Canterbury Public Health Senior Lecturer Dr Matt Hobbs, who joins Jesse to explain how the features of our neighbourhood might make us more likely to smoke, vape or develop diabetes, anxiety or depression.
