The research, led by John Zacharias, who conducted the study while a faculty member in the Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, and psychology alumnus Richard Ling, found that people could be incited to make the healthier choice of taking the stairs when these were properly distanced from any escalators: Panorama (in Italian), Toronto Telegraph, Medical Daily, Big News Network, South Asian Media, Med India, HT Syndication, diabetes.co.uk, The Express Tribune, Hindustan Times (e-edition) and 985fm.ca.
