1 Urban Use and Physical Activity Deborah Cohen, Thom McKenzie, Amber Sehgal, Stephanie Williamson, Daniela Golinelli, Multi-Cultural Area Health Education Center (MAHEC) Funded by NIEHS Grant #P50ES RAND Center for Population Health and Health Disparities

2 Goals To determine whether improvements in parks result in increases in physical activity among children and adults To determine the impact of park improvements on other aspects of health and functioning To determine the cost effectiveness of Prop K in increasing physical activity

3 Proposition K Passed in 1996 Allocates $25 million per year for 30 years to improve parks and open spaces in the City of Los Angeles Serves as natural experiment to understand how parks might contribute to population level physical activity

4 Study Components Includes community based participation Focuses on new recreation centers and improvements over $1,000,000 Requires observing activity in parks, including age group and race/ethnicity Includes surveys of park users and individuals who live in local neighborhoods

5 Twelve Neighborhood s 6 matched pairs based on demographics, SES, park form, and features All active parks with facilities for competitive sports Most intervention parks are building new gymnasiums

6 Neighborhood Characteristics Most parks included in this study are located in predominantly Latino and African-American neighborhoods Most parks studied are in low-income neighborhoods and serve an average of 67,000 people in 1 mile radius and 210,000 people in 2 mile radius s size ranges from 3.4 to 16 acres, with an average of 8 acres

7 Map of Activity Areas

8 Observation Methods activity was observed four times per day 7:30-8:30am 12:30-1:30pm 3:30-4:30pm 6:30-7:30pm activity was observed for each day of the week and primary and secondary activities in each target area recorded, including being a spectator. Individuals were counted and recorded by: Gender (female or male) Age group (child, teen, adult, or senior) Race/ethnicity (Latino, black, white, or other) Activity level (sedentary, walking, or vigorous)

9 Survey Methods users were surveyed based on: Target Area (busy and quiet areas) Activity Level (sedentary, walking, or vigorous) Gender (50% male, 50% female) Neighborhood residents were surveyed based on random selection of households in specified increments from the park: 1/4 mile 1/2 mile One mile Two miles Each participant was asked to complete a Parent Survey when they had a child under 18-years-of-age

36 Summary Residential proximity to parks is a critical determinant of park use and leisure exercise Males use parks more than females Children and teens use parks more than adults and seniors Most people in the parks are sedentary

37 Summary People report using parks frequently, yet we observed many areas in the park to be largely unused during substantial portions of the week Supervised activities draw more people to the park Walking paths associated with more walking More park users correlated with more energy expended

38 Conclusion s already play a significant role in people s lives s have the potential and capacity to do more to facilitate physical activity Future research will document the impact of Prop K improvements
