What this trial measures
- Physical Activity as measured by number of steps per dayBaseline and 4 months
Youth participants were provided with Garmin accelerometers at baseline and 4 months to monitor step data over 7 consecutive days. Wrist-worn accelerometry (versus waist worn) was chosen to maximize compliance. A threshold of 11,500 or more steps per day was used to evaluate whether participants met daily steps goals.
- Transportation Self-Efficacy as measured by the Teen Environment and Neighborhood (TEAN) scaleBaseline and 4 months
The primary measure of youth transportation self-efficacy measured at baseline and 4 months will be the Teen Environment and Neighborhood (TEAN) scale, measured via surveys collected during regular youth program hours.
- Transportation Self-Efficacy as measured by the Youth Living in Active Neighborhoods scaleBaseline and 4 months
The Youth Living in Active Neighborhoods scale is a 67-item questionnaire that assesses youth perceptions of neighborhood design features related to physical activity. A higher score indicates greater neighborhood walkability.
- Transportation Self-Efficacy as measured by Physical Activity Neighborhood Environment Scale (PANES)Baseline and 4 months
The PANES is used to assess the environmental factors for walking and bicycling in the participant's neighborhood. The score is calculated as a mean of items 1 through 17 and has a range of 1 to 4, with higher values indicating greater environmental support for physical activity.
