本研究利用国家健康教育(HED)改革作为准自然实验来评估儿童接受HED对其父母体育活动的因果影响。我们使用1999年至2005年期间收入动态小组研究的数据，以及全国州教育委员会卫生政策数据库和2000年和2006年学校卫生政策和计划研究的州HED改革数据。为了确定HED要求对父母行为的溢出效应，我们使用了几种方法(三重差异、变化变化和差异差异)，其中我们考虑了不同类型的治疗。我们发现，小学HED改革对家长进行轻度体育活动的概率有积极影响。在HED中引入重大变化会使父亲从事体力活动的可能性增加6.3至13.7个百分点，而平均而言，母亲从事体力活动的可能性似乎不受影响。我们分析了高等教育改革的几个不同的影响，以揭示这些溢出背后的机制。我们发现了与假设一致的证据，如父母在育儿活动中的性别专业化或儿童与父母之间的信息共享。版权所有(C)2013 John Wiley&Sons，Ltd.
This paper exploits state health education (HED) reforms as quasi-natural experiments to estimate the causal impact of HED received by children on their parents' physical activity. We use data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics for the period 1999-2005 merged with data on state HED reforms from the National Association of State Boards of Education Health Policy Database and the 2000 and 2006 School Health Policies and Programs Study. To identify the spillover effects of HED requirements on parents' behavior, we use several methodologies (triple differences, changes in changes, and difference in differences) in which we allow for different types of treatments. We find a positive effect of HED reforms at the elementary school on the probability of parents doing light physical activity. Introducing major changes in HED increases the probability of fathers engaging in physical activity by between 6.3 and 13.7 percentage points, whereas on average, this probability for mothers does not seem to be affected. We analyze several heterogeneous impacts of the HED reforms to unveil the mechanisms behind these spillovers. We find evidence consistent with hypotheses such as gender specialization of parents in childcare activities or information sharing between children and parents.
