• Stepping towards causation: do built environments or neighborhood and travel preferences explain physical activity, driving, and obesity? (2007, background): “Several recent studies also show an inverse association between neighborhood walkability and obesity (Ewing, Schmid, Killingsworth, Zlot, & Raudenbush, 2003; Frank, Andresen, & Schmid, 2004; Lopez, 2004; Saelens et al., 2003), although these associations are less consistent in the literature.”
• A Comprehensive Analysis of Built Environment Characteristics on Household Residential Choice and Auto Ownership Levels (2007, background): “A similar problem arises when studies compare activity/travel behaviors of individuals across judgmentally pre-defined neighborhoods (such as conventional neighborhood and neourbanist neighborhoods; see, for example, Shay and Khattak, 2005; Saelens et al., 2003; Handy et al., 2005; Rodriguez et al.,”
• Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, methodology): “SES was included as a stratification variable because it is inversely related to physical activity in many studies (Sallis and Owen, 2002), built environment may explain SES inequalities in physical activity, and SES differences have not been systematically examined in previous studies (Humpel et al”
• 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”
• Obesity and the built environment. (2005, background): “The proximity of these resources is important, because people are more likely to use nearby resources (8).”
• Built Environment Correlates of Walking: A Review (2008, methodology): “Many reviews call for the use of objective measures generated with the help of geographic information systems (GIS) [18,33,49,54,58].”
• An ecological approach to creating active living communities. (2006, background): “The literature on active transportation was reviewed by a team of health and transportation researchers and reported in a health journal (66).”
