Abstract

We evaluated physical activity (PA) resources in lower-income Arizona communities to support the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – Education (SNAP-Ed) in pursuing equitable policy, systems, and environment (PSE) interventions. In 2017, 71 PA resources across 10 counties (65% parks) were rated using the Physical Activity Resource Assessment (PARA) tool. Accessibility was high, but condition scores and attractiveness varied across resources, with no rural/urban differences. Results suggest that Extension SNAP-Ed staff can be agents of change by assessing resource condition where physical activity health inequities may exist and then convening partners to begin to address needed changes.

评估亚利桑那州支持健康公平的体育活动资源

我们评估了亚利桑那州低收入社区的体育活动(PA)资源，以支持补充营养援助计划-教育(SNAP-Ed)追求公平的政策、系统和环境(PSE)干预。2017年，使用体育活动资源评估(PARA)工具对10个县(65%的公园)的71个体育活动资源进行了评级。可达性较高，但条件得分和吸引力因资源而异，没有城乡差异。结果表明，扩展SNAP-Ed工作人员可以通过评估可能存在身体活动健康不平等的资源状况，然后召集合作伙伴开始解决所需的变化，从而成为变革的推动者。
