以信仰为基础的环境有可能改善资源不足的社区的健康，但很少有研究量化和比较教会环境中促进健康的元素。这项研究调查了美国东南部一个乡村县(n=54)教堂中潜在的室内和室外体育活动机会、健康饮食机会、健康生活媒体和总环境资源的数量，以及这些资源与邻里收入之间的关系。在我们的样本中，大多数教堂为身体活动和健康饮食提供了潜在的室内和室外机会，与其他环境因素相比，展示的健康生活媒体项目的数量更具多样性。教堂中常见的潜在体育活动机会包括联谊会大厅和绿色/空地，而健康饮食的潜在机会通常包括冰箱和水槽。与中高收入社区的教堂相比，低收入社区的教堂在户外潜在体育活动机会方面得分较高，在总潜在环境资源、健康饮食机会、健康生活媒体和室内体育活动机会方面得分较低，尽管只有室内体育活动机会达到统计学意义。应进一步调查利用教堂内外现有资源促进健康的潜在机会，特别是在农村地区。
Faith-based settings have the potential to improve health in under resourced communities, but little research has quantified and compared health-promoting elements in church environments. This study examines the number of potential indoor and outdoor physical activity opportunities, healthy eating opportunities, healthy living media, and total environmental resources present in churches (n=54) in a rural, southeastern U.S. county and the relationship between these resources and neighborhood income. In our sample, most churches offered potential indoor and outdoor opportunities for physical activity and healthy eating opportunities, with more variability in the number of healthy living media items on display compared to other environmental components. Common potential opportunities present in churches for physical activity included a fellowship hall and green/open space, while potential opportunities for healthy eating frequently included a refrigerator and sink. Compared to those in medium- and high-income neighborhoods, churches in low-income neighborhoods scored higher on measures of potential outdoor physical activity opportunities and lower on measures of total potential environment resources, healthy eating opportunities, healthy living media, and indoor physical activity opportunities, though only indoor physical activity opportunities reached statistical significance. Potential opportunities for using existing resources in and around churches for health promotion should be investigated further, particularly in rural areas.
