Design: This cross-sectional study employed an inte…

As youth obesity rates remain at unacceptably high levels, particularly across underserved populations, the promotion of physical activity has become a focus of youth obesity prevention across the United States. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop and test the reliability and validity of a self-reported questionnaire on home, school, and neighborhood physical activity environments for youth located in low-income urban minority neighbor…

Commercial outlet data were linke…
State variation in retail promotions and advertising for Marlboro cigarettes
