我们比较了英国和澳大利亚学龄儿童的自主行动能力(在没有成年人陪同的情况下在附近或类似地区走动的自由)。父母报告说，向他们的孩子发放了行动许可证(例如，允许他们单独穿过主要道路)，并在当地旅行中提供陪同。孩子们报告了上学的出行方式。我们研究了流动许可证和独立学校旅行之间的联系，以及当地旅行中的伴游。在10-12岁的儿童中，英国儿童比澳大利亚儿童拥有更多的驾照。流动许可证与小学生的独立学校旅行直接相关，但与旅行更远的中学生无关；与父母陪同前往其他目的地呈负相关。应审查对父母限制的影响，以促进儿童的独立行动能力。
We compared independent mobility (freedom to move around the neighbourhood - or similar - without adult accompaniment) among English and Australian schoolchildren. Parents reported mobility licences granted to their children (e.g. allowing them to cross main roads alone) and accompaniment on local trips. Children reported travel mode to school. We examined associations between mobility licences and independent school journeys, and accompaniment on local trips. Among 10-12-year-olds, English children had more licences than Australian children. Mobility licences were directly associated with independent school journeys among primary but not among secondary schoolchildren who travelled further; and inversely associated with parental accompaniment to other destinations. Influences on parental restrictions should be examined to promote children's independent mobility.
