Canada on the Move is a national campaign to promote pedometer use and walking among adult Canadians. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the initiative's impact on sufficient walking, defined here as at least an hour daily in the week prior to the survey. Data were collected via the national Canadian Physical Activity Monitor's rolling monthly sample throughout 2004. Population prevalence rates of walking were compared using Bonferroni-adjusted confidence intervals. Correlates of sufficient walking were estimated using odds ratios adjusted for age, sex, income and education. Message recall and pedometer ownership were associated with increased odds of self-reported walking. There was evidence of a campaign effect on walking behavior independent of secular trends. The increased likelihood of sufficient walking suggests an ongoing role for nationally funded public awareness campaigns. The effectiveness of health promotion to increase walking may be enhanced by combining motivational health-related messages with the dissemination and adoption of an easy-to-use tool for self-monitoring purposes.
“加拿大行动起来”是一项全国性运动，旨在促进成年加拿大人使用计步器并增加步行量。本文的目的是调查该倡议对充足步行的影响，此处将充足步行定义为在调查前一周内每天至少步行一小时。数据通过加拿大国家体育活动监测器2004年全年滚动月度样本收集。使用经邦费罗尼校正的置信区间比较步行的人口患病率。使用根据年龄、性别、收入和教育程度调整的比值比估计充足步行的相关因素。信息回忆和计步器拥有情况与自我报告步行几率的增加相关。有证据表明该运动对步行行为有影响，且不受长期趋势影响。充足步行可能性的增加表明国家资助的公众意识运动具有持续作用。通过将与健康相关的激励信息与用于自我监测目的的易于使用工具的传播和采用相结合，可能会提高促进健康以增加步行量的有效性。
