Ordinal logistic regression was used to assess associations of socio-demographic factors and neighbourhood social cohesion with distances adults would permit for children’s independent travel and outdoor play. Results: Parents and adults with lower education were less likely to permit greater distances for children’s independent travel (OR = 0.57 and OR = 0.59, respectively). Women, parents and adults with lower education were less likely to grant children greater distances for independent outdoor play (OR = 0.61, OR = 0.50 and OR = 0.60, respectively). In contrast, adults with higher perceptions of neighbourhood social cohesion were more likely to permit children greater distances for independent travel (OR = 1.05)and outdoor play (OR = 1.05). Adult age and area-level socio-economic disadvantage were not associated with distances adults would permit for independent travel and outdoor play. Conclusions: Women, parents (particularly those of younger children), adults with lower education and those who perceived neighbourhood social cohesion as being lower were less willing to let children independently travel further away from home. Interventions to increase children’s independent mobility may be more effective if targeted to these groups. In addition, increasing neighbourhood social cohesion may help increase adults’ willingness to grant children greater independent mobility.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:02:08 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28422 b=0.18, p=0.01) but not with their sedentary behavior, light or total physical activity. Active travel modes to school were not associated with children's sedentary behavior or physical activity across intensities. No statistically significant differences by sex were detected in the observed associations. However, the positive association between active travel modes to non-school destinations and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity neared statistical significance in boys (b=0.15, p=0.07) but not in girls. Conclusions: Active travel was positively associated with children's physical activity but not their sedentary behavior levels. Active travel to non-school destinations may have more potential to increase children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity levels, than active travel to school.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:29:05 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24135 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:33 AEDT ]]>
