Data were collected between Sep 2013 and Oct 2013. To examine the test-retest reliability, 281 of the 1407 participants were asked to answer the same questionnaire (Korean NEWS-A scale) after a 7-d interval.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Results:</strong><strong> </strong>The ICC range of the entire questionnaire was 0.71-0.88. The item on land use mix-diversity had the highest ICC, and that on physical barriers had the lowest. In addition, presents the partial correlation coefficients for walking and the NEWS-A score, adjusted for social demographic variables. Overall, land use mix-diversity (<em>P</em><0.034) and land use mix-access (<em>P</em><0.014) showed a positive relationship with walking.</p><p><strong>Discussion:</strong> Examination of the reliability of the Korean NEWS-A scale based on Korean adults who reside in large cities showed that all items had statistically satisfactory reliability. Korean NEWS-A scale may be a useful measure for assessing environmental correlates of walking among population in Korea.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong><strong> </strong>Environment, Physical activity, Korean NEWS-A, Reliability<strong></strong></p> | ||
