The article I chose was
Wu Y, Luben R, Jones A. Dog ownership supports the maintenance of physical activity during poor weather in older English adults: cross-sectional results from the EPIC Norfolk cohort. J Epidemiol Community Health 2017;71:905-911.
It can be read in it’s entirety at https://jech.bmj.com/content/71/9/905
Using the guidelines given in our course readings, I have classified this as academic, peer reviewed research material. The authors are all employed by the Cambridge Institute of Public Health and have published numerous studies in the health, chemistry, and behavioral ecology. The study notes that it was externally peer-reviewed though provides no further details as to who reviewed the study. The study also notes their methodology and results, leading me to believe it is a research paper, not a review.
