The RIGHT TRACKS Study - Development and Feasibility of an Incentive Scheme to Promote Active School Travel in Year 5 Children

Retention of Participants

时间窗: September 2014 to December 2014

Number of participants who remained in the study until the end.

Agreement Between Parent and Child Reports

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

Inter-rater agreement between parent and child ATS\* reports \*Active Travel to School

Schools Who Accepted to Take Part

时间窗: May 2014 to June 2014

Percentage of schools who accepted to take part in this study

Recruitment of Participants

时间窗: Sep 2014 to December 2014

Number of participants recruited in this study.

Active Travel to School Based on Parental Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

Active travel to school (ATS) refers to the behaviour of travelling to school by human-powered means as opposed to motorised transportation, for example by walking or cycling. This was based on parental ATS reports.

Active Travel to School Based on Child Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

Percentage of active trips to school based on child report. This data is from all the trips reported by children, whether parental reports exist for the same day or not. For that reason, this differs from the number of trips reported in 'Agreement Between Parent and Child Reports' because in that case, both parent and child reports were required for the same day.

Parental ATS Reports by SMS

时间窗: 8 weeks after baseline

Number of parental ATS reports by SMS. * In this case, for comparability with data from paper reports, one SMS reports refers to a week in which at least one SMS report was received from the parent. * Parental SMS reports were only possible in those weeks when the child was not wearing the accelerometer. Parents who had chosen to report ATS by SMS were requested to report by paper on the weeks when the child wore the accelerometer (once at baseline, and once at post-baseline), and could report ATS by SMS in all other weeks.

School Retention

时间窗: September 2014 to December 2014

% of schools who were retained for the whole duration of the study (out of the two who took part)

Parental ATS Paper Reports Returned

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

N parental ATS\* paper reports returned to researcher(me) \*Active Travel to School * Paper reports with at least 1 box had been ticked out of the five boxes on the form (there was 1 box for each day of the week). * ATS reports were collected weekly, i.e. on the baseline week and on each of the eight post-baseline weeks. Accelerometers were only used twice; once at baseline (1week) and once at post-baseline (1week). * Parental paper ATS reports were preferred by 6 families, but on the 2 accelerometer weeks all participants had to use a paper reports including usual SMS respondents. In contr. group: all used paper reports at baseline (1st accel. week) (n=14), 6 usual paper respondents at post-baseline (6x8 weeks = 48), 6 SMS respondents who had to paper-report on the 2nd accel.week (both dropouts were SMS respondents \& left too early for a 2nd accel.), so total N possible paper reports 14 + 48 + 6=68. Int. school: 15 participants \& 8 usual paper respondents, total=15 + (8 x 8) + 7=86

Differences in MVPA During the Times Reported by the Parent, Based on Parental Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

differences in minutes of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) between ATS and non-ATS trips during the times reported by the parent as pertaining to the journey to school, based on parental report (i.e. parent reported whether the trip was ATS or non-ATS)

Differences in MVPA During the Times Reported by the Parent, Based on Child Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

differences in minutes of MVPA between ATS and non-ATS trips during the times reported by the parent as pertaining to the journey to school, based on child report (i.e. child reported whether trip was ATS or non-ATS)

Number of Participants Who Returned Their Accelerometers on Time at the End of the Baseline Week

时间窗: 1 week

Number of participants who returned their accelerometer to the researcher on the designated day, at end of baseline week (all children wore the accelerometer at the same time)

Child ATS Reports Returned

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

Number of child ATS\* reports returned to the researcher (myself) throughout the study. Child ATS reports were always on paper. \*Active Travel to School

Number of Participants Who Returned Their Accelerometers on Time at the End of the Post-baseline Week

时间窗: 8 weeks after baseline

Number of participants who returned their accelerometer on time to the researcher (myself) on the designated day, at end of post-baseline week. This was the second week of wear for participants. Whereas all participants were assessed concurrently at baseline, different subsamples were assessed every week at post-baseline.

Accelerometers Lost or Damaged

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

Number of accelerometers lost or damaged in this study

Differences in MVPA During the Hour Before the Classes, Based on Parental Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

differences in MVPA between ATS and non-ATS trips during the hour before the classes (7:56-8:55), based on parental report (i.e. parent reported whether trip was ATS or non-ATS)

Differences in MVPA During the Hour Before the Classes, Based on Child Report

时间窗: 9 weeks (one week at baseline plus eight weeks after baseline)

differences in minutes of MVPA between ATS and non-ATS trips during the hour before the classes (7:56-8:55), based on child report (i.e. child reported whether trip was ATS or non-ATS)
