Built environments and obesity in disadvantaged populations. (2009, background): “Physical activity outside the home may take place along neighborhood streets, on walking or biking trails, in parks, or in exercise facilities such as gymnasiums or pools (79, 80).”
Is it Safe to Walk?1 Neighborhood Safety and Security Considerations and Their Effects on Walking (2006, background): “Empirical studies typically find that older women generally feel less safe than younger women (Brownson et al. 2001).”
Identifying and Measuring Urban Design Qualities Related to Walkability. (2006, background): “However, to date, measures used characterize the built environment in travel behavior and physical activity research have been mostly gross qualities such as neighborhood density, street connectivity, and distance to parks.(2-7) Audit instruments have proliferated for assessing the walkability and b”
A new tool for epidemiology: the usefulness of dynamic-agent models in understanding place effects on health. (2008, methodology): “Subsequent models would progressively add more complexity, such as networking individuals into a spatial proximity/small-world network (32) using prior research regarding network influence on behaviors (33, 34).”
Walkable Route Perceptions and Physical Features (2007, background): “Thus, the methodology cannot explain puzzling findings, such as when more walking is being reported in the presence of barriers to walking, including such as heavy traffic (Brownson et al., 2001; Troped et al., 2003) and hills (Brownson et al.”
