目的-本研究的目的是调查社会人口和上下文因素的频率在附近的户外玩耍在幼儿期，从一个大样本的儿童在加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省。方法2018年对2280名4 ~ 5岁儿童的父母/照顾者进行了童年经历问卷（CHEQ）调查。进行二元逻辑回归分析，以根据儿童的性别、家庭种族（即，欧洲血统与其他），家庭收入（即，低于或等于/高于75，000加元）、人口中心（即，城市与农村）和父母对邻居的信任（即，信任与不信任邻居照顾孩子）。结果35%的儿童在这项研究中达到了每天户外玩耍的建议。与那些父母对邻居信任度低的孩子相比，那些父母对邻居信任度高的孩子每天在邻居家户外玩耍的可能性要高出一倍。此外，来自高收入家庭（等于/超过75 000美元）的儿童比低收入家庭的儿童更有可能每天在户外玩耍，但前提是他们居住在农村地区。最后，与非欧洲家庭背景的儿童相比，欧洲家庭背景的儿童每天在户外玩耍的可能性高出64%。结论本研究的结果有助于一个新兴的机构的工作，研究社会经济，人口和背景因素与儿童满足日常户外玩耍的建议，在他们的邻居。
Objectives The goal of this study was to investigate socio-demographic and contextual factors in relation to the frequency of outdoor play in the neighbourhood in early childhood, drawing from a large sample of children in British Columbia, Canada. Methods Parents/caregivers of 2280 4- to 5-year-old children completed the Childhood Experiences Questionnaire (CHEQ) in 2018. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted to predict the likelihood of children participating in everyday outdoor play in their neighbourhood based on the child's gender, family ethnicity (i.e., European origin vs. other), household income (i.e., less vs. equal/more than CDN$75,000), population centre (i.e., urban vs. rural) and parent's trust in neighbours (i.e., trusting vs. not trusting neighbours to look out for children). Results Thirty-five percent of children in this study met recommendations of playing outdoors every day. Children whose parents perceived strong trust in neighbours were twice as likely to play outdoors in their neighbourhood every day, when compared with those whose parents perceived low trust in neighbours. Additionally, children from families with higher incomes (equal/more than $75,000) were significantly more likely to play outdoors daily than those with lower incomes, but only if they resided in rural areas. Last, children with European family backgrounds were 64% more likely to play outdoors every day compared with those with non-European backgrounds. Conclusion Findings from this study contribute to an emerging body of work examining socio-economic, demographic and contextual factors associated with children meeting the recommendations for everyday outdoor play in their neighbourhood.
