目的：本研究的目的是评估组成因素，包括协作的年龄和规模，社区，政策和政治参与活动，可能会影响协作的有效性，在推进环境改善和政策，积极living.Design/Participants/Setting：结构化访谈进行了协作的协调员。调查项目包括组织组成、社区、政策和政治参与活动，以及报告的环境改善和政策变化。描述性统计和多变量模型被用来调查这些relationships.Main Outcome Measure（S）：环境改善和政策变化分数反映了8个战略领域（例如，公园和娱乐，交通，街景，土地再开发）的协作有效性水平。各团体在确定环境改善领域方面取得了进展，并在许多情况下获得了支持这些变化的资金。多变量模型的结果表明，在调整了群体年龄和地区贫困水平后，参与媒体传播和宣传与环境改善水平的提高在统计学上相关（P<0.05）。01）。经常征求社区领导人的支持并在政策或法律的听证会上作证的群体报告说，在调整群体年龄和地区贫困水平后，他们的政策变化明显更多（P<0.05）。结论：积极的生活合作者正在翻译环境和政策方法的证据，以促进积极的生活从研究到实践。投资于社区和政策参与活动可能是实现建筑环境结构和政策变革的重要杠杆。
Objective: This study aims to evaluate compositional factors, including collaborative age and size, and community, policy, and political engagement activities that may influence collaboratives' effectiveness in advancing environmental improvements and policies for active living.Design/Participants/Setting: Structured interviews were conducted with collaboratives' coordinators. Survey items included organizational composition, community, policy, and political engagement activities and reported environmental improvements and policy change. Descriptive statistics and multivariate models were used to investigate these relationships.Main Outcome Measure (s): Environmental improvement and policy change scores reflecting level of collaborative effectiveness across 8 strategy areas (eg, parks and recreation, transit, streetscaping, and land redevelopment).Results: Fifty-nine collaborative groups participated in the interview, representing 22 states. Groups have made progress in identifying areas for environmental improvements and in many instances have received funding to support these changes. Results from multivariate models indicate that engagement in media communication and advocacy was statistically correlated with higher levels of environmental improvement, after adjusting for age of group and area poverty levels (P<. 01). Groups that frequently solicited endorsements from community leaders and offered testimony in policy or legal hearings reported significantly more policy change, after adjusting for age of group and area poverty levels (P<. 01 for both).Conclusions: Active living collaboratives are translating the evidence on environmental and policy approaches to promote active living from research to practice. Investing in community and policy engagement activities may represent important levers for achieving structural and policy changes to the built environment.
