越来越多的经验证据表明安全问题与步行上学 (WTS) 之间的关系。然而，目前的研究对家长安全问题的多个领域以及家长表达 WTS 安全问题的具体机制了解有限。需要更详细的了解来为环境和政策干预措施提供信息。本研究考察了美国交通安全和人身安全问题与 WTS 之间的关系。这项横断面分析考察了德克萨斯州儿童肥胖预防政策评估 (T-COPPE) 项目的数据，该项目是对全州肥胖预防政策干预措施的评估。所有研究数据均来自对德克萨斯州 81 所小学四年级学生的家长进行的调查 (n = 830)，这些学生居住在距孩子学校不到两英里的范围内。捕捉了家庭社区、上学途中和学校环境的交通安全和人身安全问题。二元逻辑回归分析用于评估 WTS 控制显着协变量的可能性。总体而言，18% 的家长表示，他们的孩子在一周的大部分时间步行上学。就交通安全而言，如果家长对家庭邻里环境中的以下项目有良好的看法，则学生更有可能步行上学：人行道可用性较高、人行道维护良好以及道路交叉口安全。对于上学路线，与那些报告“总是有问题”的人相比，那些报告以下各项“没有问题”的人获得 WTS 的几率更高：交通速度、交通量、人行道/小路、十字路口/十字路口安全和路口警卫。就上学途中的人身安全而言，当家长报告担心以下问题时，WTS 的几率较低：流浪或危险动物以及是否有其他人可以陪伴。调查结果深入了解了引发小学生 WTS 行为安全问题的具体问题。观察到的更有利的安全认知与 WTS 之间的关联为减少 WTS 障碍的实际干预策略提供了进一步的理由，这些障碍可能为学龄儿童带来长期的体育活动和健康益处。
Empirical evidence of the relationship between safety concerns and walking to school (WTS) is growing. However, current research offers limited understanding of the multiple domains of parental safety concerns and the specific mechanisms through which parents articulate safety concerns about WTS. A more detailed understanding is needed to inform environmental and policy interventions. This study examined the relationships between both traffic safety and personal safety concerns and WTS in the U.S. This cross-sectional analysis examined data from the Texas Childhood Obesity Prevention Policy Evaluation (T-COPPE) project, an evaluation of state-wide obesity prevention policy interventions. All study data were from the survey (n = 830) of parents with 4th grade students attending 81 elementary schools across Texas, and living within two miles from their children's schools. Traffic safety and personal safety concerns were captured for the home neighborhood, en-route to school, and school environments. Binary logistic regression analysis was used to assess the odds of WTS controlling for significant covariates. Overall, 18% of parents reported that their child walked to school on most days of the week. For traffic safety, students were more likely to walk to school if their parent reported favorable perceptions about the following items in the home neighborhood environment: higher sidewalk availability, well maintained sidewalks and safe road crossings. For the route to school, the odds of WTS were higher for those who reported "no problem" with each one of the following: traffic speed, amount of traffic, sidewalks/pathways, intersection/crossing safety, and crossing guards, when compared to those that reported "always a problem". For personal safety in the en-route to school environment, the odds of WTS were lower when parents reported concerns about: stray or dangerous animals and availability of others with whom to walk. Findings offered insights into the specific issues that drive safety concerns for elementary school children’s WTS behaviors. The observed associations between more favorable perceptions of safety and WTS provide further justification for practical intervention strategies to reduce WTS barriers that can potentially bring long-term physical activity and health benefits to school-aged children.
