背景:积极的学校交通(AST),学校旅行使用积极的模式,如步行,可能是重要的儿童的整体身体活动。一个“学校旅行计划”(STP)文件学校的交通特点,并提供了一个行动计划,以解决学校和社区的障碍AST.METHODS:我们进行了试点STP干预12所学校在加拿大4个省。促进者和学校工作人员创建和实施AST行动计划。家长的自我报告(N = 1489)是评估干预的基础。内容分析确定的类型,频率,并认为成功的initiations.RESULTS:学校旅行计划强调教育和推广,AST活动和事件。资本改善项目在旧郊区社区的学校更常见,而执法在新郊区社区的学校更常见。主动运输率从43.8%上升到45.9%。在随访中,13.3%的家庭报告驾驶减少。父母/照顾者引用天气,方便,和行程链的主要原因,继续driving.CONCLUSION:STP过程可能会促进学校出行模式的变化。STP可以通过调动各种社区资源来扩大学校解决交通问题的能力。未来的STP倡议可能会受益于通过执法解决便利和安全问题,并研究如何支持学校实施基础设施改进。
BACKGROUND: Active school transport (AST), school travel using an active mode like walking, may be important to children's overall physical activity. A "school travel plan" (STP) documents a school's transport characteristics and provides an action plan to address school and neighborhood barriers to AST.METHODS: We conducted a pilot STP intervention at 12 schools in 4 Canadian provinces. Facilitators and school personnel created and implemented AST action plans. Parent's self-reports (N = 1489) were the basis for evaluating the intervention. A content analysis identified type, frequency, and perceived success of initiatives.RESULTS: School travel plans emphasized education and promotion, and AST activities and events. Capital improvement projects were more common at schools in older suburban neighborhoods, whereas enforcement was more common at schools in newer suburban neighborhoods. Rates of active transportation increased from 43.8% to 45.9%. At follow-up, 13.3% of households reported less driving. Parents/caregivers cited weather, convenience, and trip chaining as primary reasons for continued driving.CONCLUSION: The STP process may facilitate changes to patterns of school travel. An STP can expand a school's capacity to address transportation issues through mobilization of diverse community resources. Future STP initiatives may benefit from addressing convenience, safety through enforcement, and by examining how schools can be supported in implementing infrastructure improvements.
