iMATCH: Independent mobility, active travel and children's health

澳大利亚各地都在采取政策干预措施，以改善儿童的独立行动能力，提高儿童的身体活动水平和社会互动，并形成更可持续的旅行行为，特别是上学的旅行行为。iMATCH提供了一个整体的和跨学科的政策干预措施的评估，而不是对学校旅行和儿童旅行行为政策和方案的大多数评估。通过控制建筑和社会环境的影响，该项目将提供必要的支持，以证明这些政策干预措施的合理性，并确定实施这些措施的关键改进措施，支持澳大利亚儿童更可持续和健康的生活方式。

Policy interventions are used across Australia to improve children's independent mobility, to increase children's physical activity levels and social interaction, and to generate more sustainable travel behaviour, particularly for the journey to school. iMATCH provides a holistic and inter-disciplinary evaluation of policy interventions than is undertaken for most evaluations of school travel and children's travel behaviour policies and programs. By controlling for the influence of the built and social environment, the project will provide the necessary support to justify these policy interventions and to identify key improvements for their delivery, supporting more sustainable and healthy lifestyles for Australia's children.
