目标.分析父母对社会环境的看法与10-14岁儿童步行和骑自行车上学之间的关联。方法。在2006年和2007年期间，在旧金山弗朗西斯科湾区对432名10-14岁儿童的父母进行了调查;最终样本量为357。社会环境进行了测量与3项规模评估儿童为中心的社会控制。未调整和调整后的差异，积极前往学校之间的家庭报告高水平的社会控制在他们的邻居和那些报告低或中性水平的社会控制。调整后的差异计算匹配的受访者对儿童和家庭的特点和学校的距离。在父母报告社会控制水平较高的儿童中，37%的儿童步行或徒步上学，而在父母报告社会控制水平较低或中性的儿童中，这一比例为24%。两组之间的调整差异为10个百分点（p = 0.04）。该协会是最强的女孩和非西班牙裔白人。更高水平的父母感知的以儿童为中心的社会控制与更多的步行和骑自行车上学有关。通过积极前往学校增加身体活动可能需要干预计划来解决社会环境问题。(C)2009 Elsevier Inc.

Objectives. To analyze the association between parental perceptions of the social environment and walking and biking to school among 10-14-year-olds.Methods. Surveys were conducted with 432 parents of 10-14-year-olds in the San Francisco Bay Area during 2006 and 2007; the final sample size was 357. The social environment was measured with a 3-item scale assessing child-centered social control. Unadjusted and adjusted differences in rates of active travel to school were compared between families reporting high levels of social control in their neighborhood and those reporting low or neutral levels of social control. Adjusted differences were computed by matching respondents on child and household characteristics and distance to school.Results. Of children whose parents reported high levels of social control, 37% walked or hiked to school, compared with 24% of children whose parents reported low or neutral levels. The adjusted difference between the two groups was 10 percentage points (p = 0.04). The association was strongest for girls and non-Hispanic whites.Conclusions. Higher levels of parent-perceived child-centered social control are associated with more walking and biking to school. Increasing physical activity through active travel to school may require intervention programs to address the social environment. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
