- W2805542465 abstract "Step It Up! The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities calls on Americans to work together to increase walking and improve walkability. Well-connected, safe, and attractive sidewalks is one common feature of walkability. The Environmental Protection Agency National Walkability Index (NWI) provides a composite index of walkability at the block group level but does not include a direct measure of sidewalks. Knowing the associations between the NWI and sidewalk presence and quality may help assess the utility of the NWI to facilitate the planning of walkable communities. PURPOSE: To determine the association between a nationwide geographic measure of walkability and features of sidewalks. METHODS: We surveyed adults from 20 Community Transformation Grant sites. Respondents (n=20,918) reported on the presence of individual sidewalk features in their neighborhood (present; well maintained; separated from traffic by parked cars; separated from streets by grass/ dirt strips). Sidewalk data were merged with the NWI - a nationwide geographic measure of walkability that encompasses density, land use mix, and proximity to transit. Associations of the NWI score with sidewalk presence and features were assessed by correlations and by comparing NWI mean scores by individual sidewalk features, tested with pairwise comparisons. RESULTS The correlation between the NWI and sidewalk presence was moderate (r=0.52) while correlations between NWI and individual sidewalk features were weak (r=0.04-0.19). Among adults who reported sidewalks present (73%), the mean (± standard deviation) NWI scores were higher (p<0.05) for those reporting (versus not reporting) sidewalks on most streets (11.6±0.1 vs. 9.6±0.1), well-maintained sidewalks (11.5±0.1 vs. 11.1±0.1), and sidewalks separated from traffic by parked cars (11.9±0.1 vs. 10.3±0.1). The NWI was lower (p<0.05) for sidewalks separated from street by grass/dirt (11.2±0.1 vs. 11.8±0.1). CONCLUSIONS The NWI was moderately associated with sidewalk presence; however, associations with individual sidewalk features were weak. The NWI may be not be useful to identify individual features of sidewalk quality or locations where sidewalks are lacking. Future studies may want to assess its utility to facilitate planning in other locations." @default.
