进入和使用公园与参与体育活动有关。我们的声音是一个融合了基于社区的参与性研究(CBPR)和公民科学的系统方法。作为在密苏里州圣路易斯市(PARCS)进行的一项全面的混合方法研究的一部分，我们测试了Our Voice方法在密苏里州圣路易斯市一个大型大都市公园的娱乐和通勤用户中的实施情况，以测试Our Voice方法收集社区意见的可行性，这些意见涉及进入和使用大型大都市公园的障碍和促进者。由于新冠肺炎带来的挑战，我们的声音方法被调整为远程参与。23名公民科学家(14名休闲公园用户和9名通勤者)收集并分析了有关公园使用和访问的促进者和障碍的地理位置路线、照片和音频或文本数据。他们确定了6个优先主题和12个解决方案想法，并将其提交给利益攸关方。与之前的Our Voice研究不同，独立的用户群体(娱乐和通勤用户)独立地对许多相同的主题进行优先排序。我们的声音协议适应新冠肺炎期间的虚拟实践，显示了对以CBPR和公民科学为基础的研究的成本、覆盖范围和规模的积极影响。我们提供了一套建议的做法，将我们的声音作为一种方法来评估和促进大都市公园的准入和使用的公平性。
Access to and use of parks is associated with physical activity participation. Our Voice is a systematic method blending community-based participatory research (CBPR) and citizen science. As part of a comprehensive, mixed-methods study in St. Louis, Missouri (PARCS), we tested the feasibility of the Our Voice method for gathering community input on the barriers to and facilitators of accessibility and use of large metropolitan parks, by describing the implementation of the Our Voice method among recreational and commuter users of a large metropolitan park in St. Louis, MO. Due to challenges posed by COVID-19, the Our Voice methodology was adapted for remote participation. Twenty-three citizen scientists (14 recreational park users and 9 commuters) collected and analyzed geolocated route, photo, and audio or text data on facilitators and barriers to park use and access. They identified 6 priority themes and 12 solution ideas, and presented them to stakeholders. In contrast to previous Our Voice studies, separate user groups (recreation and commuter users) independently prioritized many of the same themes. Adaptation of the Our Voice protocol to virtual practices during COVID-19 revealed positive implications for cost, reach, and scale of studies grounded in CBPR and citizen science. We provide a set of recommended practices for using Our Voice as a method to evaluate and promote equity of access and use of metropolitan parks.
