背景资料：社区环境步行能力量表（NEWS）项目的并行有效性进行了评估与客观措施的建成环境，使用地理信息系统（GIS）。研究方法：878名10至16岁儿童的父母（平均年龄43.5岁，SD = 6.8，34.8%非白人，63.8%超重）完成了NEWS和国际体力活动问卷。GIS被用来开发1英里的街道网络缓冲区周围的参与者的住所。GIS对参与者缓冲区内建筑环境的测量包括商业和机构用地的百分比;学校和学院、娱乐设施、公园、过境站和树木的数量;土地地形;和交通拥堵。结果如下：除树木和交通外，NEWS和GIS测量之间的一致性显著，具有弱至中等效应大小（r = -0.09至-0.36，所有P
Background: Concurrent validity of Neighborhood Environment Walkability Scale (NEWS) items was evaluated with objective measures of the built environment using geographic information systems (GIS). Methods: A sample of 878 parents of children 10 to 16 years old (mean age 43.5 years, SD = 6.8, 34.8% non-White, 63.8% overweight) completed NEWS and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. GIS was used to develop 1-mile street network buffers around participants' residences. GIS measures of the built environment within participants' buffers included percent of commercial and institutional land uses; number of schools and colleges, recreational facilities, parks, transit stops, and trees; land topography; and traffic congestion. Results: Except for trees and traffic, concordance between the NEWS and GIS measures were significant, with weak to moderate effect sizes (r = -0.09 to -0.36, all P
