Barriers and facilitators to structured, out-of-school physical activity participation among rural youth in the United States
Barriers to physical activity (PA) participation affect United States (US) youth’s ability to meet PA guidelines. There is evidence showing lower PA among rural versus urban youth due to fewer PA opportunities and resources. Out-of-school programs can help reduce geographic disparities in PA, but there is a dearth of literature on participation factors among rural youth. This study aimed to identify, describe, and synthesize peer-review literatur…
Perceptions of Knowledge and Experience in Nature-Based Health Interventions
Although perceptions and uses vary, nature-based health interventions (NBHIs) help facilitate the additional health benefits of physical activity (PA) experienced in nature, thereby reducing all-cause morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this mixed-methods, cross-sectional study was to better understand perceptions, terminology, and participation in NBHIs. A questionnaire was developed by reviewing validated instruments and gauging expert expe…
Health education and promotion of #PhysicalActivity on Twitter before and during Covid-19
Objective: Twitter, a microblogging service, allows users to post short messages (tweets) and link posts through hashtags, creating online communities to enable dissemination of health education. The objective of this descriptive study was to examine Twitter’s #PhysicalActivity health education and promotion efforts, including differences in response before (March 2019–February 2020) and during (March 2020–February 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic. De…
Development and validation of self-efficacy and intention measures for spending time in nature
The study resulted in reliable and valid self-efficacy (14 items) and intentions (8 items) scales that can be used to develop future theory-based interventions to increase TSN and thereby improve population health
Development and Validation of an Attitude Toward Spending Time in Nature Scale
Time spent in nature (TSN) is related to improved health and well-being; however, many adults spend little time in nature. Interventions based on health behavior theories may be effective at increasing TSN. Attitudes toward a behavior have been shown to be a strong predictor of both intention and behaviors, but valid and reliable measures regarding these attitudes are lacking. The study aim was to develop a valid and reliable attitude toward TSN …
Trail Conditions and Community Use
Physical activity (PA), associated with all-cause mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs, improves vitamin D absorption, immune response, and stress when completed outdoors. Rural communities, which experience PA inequities, rely on trails to meet PA guidelines. However, current trail audit methods could be more efficient and accurate, which geospatial video may support. Therefore, the study purpose was (1) to identify and adopt validated ins…
