Effects of Large-Scale Municipal Safe Routes to School Infrastructure on Student Active Travel and Physical Activity
Past evaluations of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs have been relatively small in scope and have lacked objective measurements of physical activity. A 2016 Mobility Bond in Austin, Texas, USA, allocated USD 27.5 million for infrastructure changes to facilitate active commuting to schools (ACS). The Safe TRavel Environment Evaluation in Texas Schools (STREETS) study aims to determine the health effects of these infrastructure changes. The pu…
School Parks as a Community Health Resource
Parks are settings for physical activity that can support the physical and mental health of children during the COVID-19 pandemic. We determined the impact of the pandemic on the use of joint-use parks outside of school hours by children in Austin, TX, United States. In autumn of 2019 and autumn of 2020 (i.e., before and during the COVID-19 pandemic), we used an adapted version of the System for Observing Play and Recreation in Communities to obs…
Heat-Moderating Effects of Bus Stop Shelters and Tree Shade on Public Transport Ridership
Rising temperatures threaten the resilience of public transit systems. We determined whether bus stop shelters and tree canopy surrounding bus stops moderated the effect of warm season temperatures on ridership in Austin, Texas, and whether shelters and trees were equitably distributed. For bus stops (n = 2271) of Capital Metropolitan Transportation Authority, boardings per bus were measured 1 April-30 September 2019. Air temperature data origina…
Structural Racism and Immigrant Health
The hardship and stress associated with wage theft incidents may ultimately lead to more frequent injury. Although we expected an association of wage theft with mental health, we found vulnerability to physical health as indicated by injury incidents. Thus, our basic premise was partially supported: wage theft may act as a stressor that stems from conditions, in part, reflecting structural racism, making workers vulnerable to poorer health
Disparity Indices and Overweight
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare state rankings of body mass index (BMI) among three different indices of income disparities (i.e., low-, middle-, and high-income thresholds) and BMI. One measure of disparities was based on national standards and the other measure was based on state-specific data. Methods: Data were from the 2016 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and analyzed in 2018. To assess differences between the tw…
Factors Associated with Use of Recreational Facilities and Physical Activity Among Low-Income Latino Adults
Foot-based audit of streets adjacent to new light rail stations in Houston, Texas
Current findings, which will be compared to follow-up audit data, can be useful for future researchers and practitioners interested in the built environment around LRT stations
Urban‐Rural Differences in Aerobic Physical Activity, Muscle Strengthening Exercise, and Screen‐Time Sedentary Behavior
PURPOSE: Compared to their urban counterparts, US residents in rural settings face an increased risk of premature mortality and health problems that have been linked to insufficient physical activity (PA) levels. There is limited literature regarding urban-rural differences in adherence to national guidelines for all 3 PA-related behaviors. METHODS: We investigated urban-rural differences in aerobic PA, leisure-time muscle strengthening PA, and l…
