Evaluating the performance of spatial indicators of destination accessibility for physical activity research
Crime-related perceptions and walking for recreation inside and outside one's home neighborhood
A tale of many neighborhoods
Smart Walk
This article reports the results of Smart Walk: a randomized pilot trial of an 8-month culturally tailored, smartphone-delivered physical activity (PA) intervention for African American women with obesity. Sixty participants (age range = 24−49 years; BMI range = 30−58 kg/m2) were randomized to the Smart Walk intervention (n = 30) or a wellness comparison intervention (n = 30). Results supported the acceptability and feasibility of the interventio…
Walkability around the worksite and self-reported and accelerometer-measured physical activity among adults
Training Computers to See the Built Environment Related to Physical Activity
The study purpose was to train and validate a deep learning approach to detect microscale streetscape features related to pedestrian physical activity. This work innovates by combining computer vision techniques with Google Street View (GSV) images to overcome impediments to conducting audits (e.g., time, safety, and expert labor cost). The EfficientNETB5 architecture was used to build deep learning models for eight microscale features guided by …
Built Environment, Physical Activity, and Obesity
Creating more physical activity–supportive built environments is recommended by the World Health Organization for controlling noncommunicable diseases. The IPEN (International Physical Activity and Environment Network) Adult Study was undertaken to provide international evidence on associations of built environments with physical activity and weight status in 12 countries on 5 continents ( n > 14,000). This article presents reanalyzed data from e…
The Moderating Effect of Distance on Features of the Built Environment and Active School Transport
Despite growing research supporting the impact of the built environment on active school transport (AST), distance persists as the most powerful predictor of walking and biking to school. There is a need to better understand how environmental features interact with distance to affect AST, and whether the influence of environmental factors persist across different distance thresholds. Multilevel models using cluster-robust standard errors were use…
Similarity in meal plan use among first-year roommates
Motivation for Exergame Play Inventory
The purpose of this study was to develop the Motivation for Exergame Play Inventory (MEPI) as a publicly available and validated measure of psychological and motivational constructs specific to increase the duration of exergame play. This study is an ancillary analysis of data from a randomized trial of sixty-one adolescents assigned to one of four exergames to play in their home for 4 weeks. Parents provided baseline demographic information. Ado…
Delay Discount Rate Moderates a Physical Activity Intervention Testing Immediate Rewards
Financial incentives can increase physical activity (PA), but differences in the immediacy of reward delivery and individual differences in delay discount rates (i.e., higher discount values associated with less tolerance for delayed rewards) may explain differential responding. The current study tested whether delay discount rate moderated the relative effectiveness of immediate financial rewards on increasing daily PA. Inactive, overweight adul…
Objectively measured access to recreational destinations and leisure-time physical activity
Demographic Relationships to Students’ Fruit and Vegetable Intake
Objective Fruit and vegetable (FV) intake remains inadequate in youth and differs across demographic subgroups. We examined relationships between student demographic characteristics and amounts of fresh FV selected, consumed, and wasted at school lunch. MethodsRandomly selected students (N = 294) at 3 middle schools participated. Weights (g) of FV selected and wasted were measured. School-cluster adjusted regressions examined the association betw…
Objectively-assessed neighbourhood destination accessibility and physical activity in adults from 10 countries
Access to parks and physical activity
Adaptive goal setting and financial incentives
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT02053259 registered prospectively on January 31, 2014
Patterns of food and physical activity environments related to children's food and activity behaviors
Fighting for survival
Little is known about the experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) students attending religious colleges and universities. This study used grounded theory to analyze the narratives (N = 271) of LGBTQ former and current students. The central theme described by LGBTQ students was a fight for survival with five subthemes: (a) institutionalized homo/transphobia (strict school policies, enforcement of heterosexuality…
Physical activity in relation to urban environments in 14 cities worldwide
International comparisons of the associations between objective measures of the built environment and transport-related walking and cycling
Walking mediates associations between neighborhood activity supportiveness and BMI in the Women's Health Initiative San Diego cohort
Correlates of Physical Activity among Blacks and Whites with Arthritis
PA interventions for people with arthritis should focus on enhancing self-efficacy for exercise and include strategies to optimize communication about PA by healthcare providers
Patterns of neighborhood environment attributes in relation to children's physical activity
International variation in neighborhood walkability, transit, and recreation environments using geographic information systems
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends strategies to improve urban design, public transportation, and recreation facilities to facilitate physical activity for non-communicable disease prevention for an increasingly urbanized global population. Most evidence supporting environmental associations with physical activity comes from single countries or regions with limited variation in urban form. This paper documents variation in compa…

Latent Growth Curve Modeling of Adolescent Physical Activity
Data from a randomized clinical trial were used to examine the extent to which a health promotion intervention affected changes in psychosocial constructs and if so whether these in turn explained changes in physical activity (PA). PA and psychosocial data on 878 adolescents (ages 11-15) recruited through primary care providers (age M = 12.7 years, SD = 1.3; 58% white non-Hispanic) were measured at baseline, six and 12 months. Parallel process la…
Crossing Borders
We examined the association between exposure to the California Tobacco Control Program and tobacco-related behaviors and perceptions among adults of Mexican descent. Three cross-sectional population-based surveys were conducted among adults in cities that represent full, partial, and no exposure to the program: San Diego, Calif, Tijuana, Mexico, and Guadalajara, Mexico, respectively. After we controlled for socioeconomic differences, we found sig…

Smoking, exposure to secondhand smoke, and smoking restrictions in Tijuana, Mexico
The results underline the need for increased tobacco control efforts, particularly stricter enforcement of existing passive smoking regulations, in order to expand protection from secondhand smoke from private settings to public ones and to curb the tobacco epidemic in Tijuana and elsewhere in Mexico
