Where Do Children Travel to and What Local Opportunities Are Available? The Relationship Between Neighborhood Destinations and Children’s Independent Mobility (2013, unknown): “…been shown to positively influence 9- to 11-year-old children’s active transport (Bejleri, Steiner, Provost, Fischman, & Arafat, 2009; Boarnet, Andersen, Day, McMillan, & Alfonzo, 2005; Braza, Shoemaker, & Seeley, 2004; Falb, Kanny, Powell, & Giarrusso, 2007; Kerr et al., 2006; Mota et al., 2007).”
Adolescents' perceptions of cycling versus walking to school: Understanding the New Zealand context (2017, background): “Safety concerns including poor walking and cycling facilities, traffic danger and personal safety concerns decrease the likelihood of active transport to school in children and adolescents.(20, 36) Specific to cycling, parental confidence in their child’s ability to cycle to school mediates the asso”
The Walkability Premium in Commercial Real Estate Investments (2011, unknown): “Social benefits could include greater physical activity (Doyle et al. 2006, Frank et al. 2006, Kerr et al. 2006, Pikora et al. 2006, Forsythe et al. 2007, Frank et al. 2007) and increased social capital including more community cohesion, political participation, trust and social activity (Leyden…”
A joint model for mode choice and escort decisions of school trips (2015, background): “Therefore, some parents use private cars for the safety of their kids, which, in turn, reduces safety for other students, then the cycle repeats (Kerr et al. 2006).”
Measuring the Built Environment for Physical Activity (2009, unknown): “Med Sci Sports Exerc 2003;35(8):1381–95.”
Walking to school: Community design and child and parent barriers (2011, background): “The major types of concerns include those of perceived street-crossing danger, traffic danger, general difficulty walking, perceived distance, and crime danger (Ahlport, Linnan, Vaughn, Evenson, & Ward, 2008; Hume et al., 2009; Kerr et al., 2006; Merom, TudorLocke, Bauman, & Rissel, 2006; MMWR, 2005”
Does the walkability of neighbourhoods affect children's independent mobility, independent of parental, socio-cultural and individual factors? (2014, background): “For example, parental concerns about traffic safety (e.g. volume, speed, presence of obstructions on the road) are also important factors influencing children’s mobility (Collins and Kearns 2001; Kerr et al. 2006; Weir, Etelson, and Brand 2006).”
Independent Mobility and Mode Choice for School Transportation: A Review and Framework for Future Research (2013, background): “For example, some studies found dense (Dalton et al., 2011; Kerr et al., 2006; Lin & Chang, 2010; McDonald, 2008a, 2008b; Nelson, Foley, O’Gorman, Moyna, & Woods, 2008) and mixed-use neighbourhoods (Larsen et al., 2009; McMillan, 2007) to associate with walking; others have indicated to the…”
Built Environment and School Travel Mode Choice in Toronto, Canada (2010, background): “Some researchers have reported walking to be positively associated with the availability of sidewalks (15, 25), intersection density (19), and parental attitudes toward safety (13, 23, 25), whereas others have found evidence to the contrary (13, 18).”
Neighborhood Built Environment and Income: Examining Multiple Health Outcomes (2009, unknown): “…Sallis, 2007; Frank, Saelens, Powell, & Chapman, 2007), including studies in Australia (Cerin, Leslie, DuToit, Owen, & Frank, 2007; Leslie et al., 2007; Owen et al., 2007) and studies of youth (Kerr et al., 2006; Kerr, Frank, Sallis, & Chapman, 2007; Kligerman, Sallis, Ryan, Frank, & Nader, 2007).”
Physical activity and food environments: solutions to the obesity epidemic. (2009, background): “The findings for children and adolescents include parental concerns about traffic as a strong correlate of children’s active transport to school (Kerr et al. 2006), and having to cross busy streets as a barrier to children’s physical activity (Davidson and Lawson 2006).”
