• Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale: validity and development of a short form. (2006, background): “A review of the health and behavioral science literature found relatively consistent positive associations between physical activity and accessibility to recreational facilities and aesthetic attributes, but not safety from traffic and crime (17).”
• Walkability of local communities: using geographic information systems to objectively assess relevant environmental attributes. (2007, background): “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”
• In search of causality: a systematic review of the relationship between the built environment and physical activity among adults (2011, background): “This is reflected in the low number of included cross-sectional studies in this review versus elsewhere [8,10,24,25].”
• A Meta-Analysis of College Students' Physical Activity Behaviors (2005, methodology): “and (2) providing complimentary sophisticated services as an amenity of the surrounding physical environments.”
• Travel and the Built Environment (2010, neutral): “…and physical activity, including walking and bicycling (Badland & Schofield, 2005; Cunningham & Michael, 2004; Frank, 2000; Frank & Engelke, 2001; Humpel et al., 2002; Kahn et al., 2002; KrahnstoeverDavison & Lawson, 2006; Lee & Moudon, 2004; McCormack et al., 2004; Owen et al., 2004; Saelens &…”
• School Trips: Effects of Urban Form and Distance on Travel Mode (2006, background): “As would be expected from an Oregon-based sample, the respondents were overwhelmingly White non- Hispanic (89%), with Hispanics being the largest minority group (7%).”
• Walkable streets: pedestrian behavior, perceptions and attitudes (2008, background): “…facilities, intersection density, the presence of sidewalks, recreation space in the neighborhood, street pattern and connectivity, and the neighborhood type (for example, Friedman et al. 1994, Humpel et al. 2002, Saelens et al. 2003, Transportation Research Board 2005, and Frank et al. 2007).”
• IPAQ environmental module; reliability testing (2006, background): “The questions addressed variables previously shown to be associated with physical activity such as presence of sidewalks, bike paths and recreational facilities (Humpel et al. 2002; Owen et al. 2004; Trost et al. 2002; Wendel-Vos et al. 2004).”
