In September 2015, Step It Up! The Surgeon General's Call to Action to Promote Walking and Walkable Communities (Call to Action) was released. This descriptive study reports the proportion of adults who responded to the 2016 Summer ConsumerStyles survey (N = 4,114) who identified walking as the activity the US Surgeon General recently promoted in the Call to Action to help Americans be more physically active. Less than half of adults (44%) correctly identified walking. Adults who were aged 18 to 24 years (35%), were male (43%), were non-Hispanic white (42%), or were physically inactive (36%) were less likely to identify walking than their counterparts. This study highlights an opportunity to raise awareness and promote the Call to Action, especially among certain populations.
2015 年 9 月，《加强行动：促进行走和适合行走社区的外科医生总体号召》（号召）发布。本描述性研究报告了对 2016 年夏季消费者调查（N=4114）做出回应的成年人比例，这些成年人认同美国外科医生最近在号召中提倡行走，以帮助美国人更积极地锻炼身体。不到一半的成年人（44%）正确识别了行走。年龄在 18 至 24 岁（35%）、男性（43%）、非西班牙裔白人（42%）或身体不活跃（36%）的成年人比同龄人更不可能识别行走。本研究突出了一个提高认识和促进号召的机会，特别是在某些人群中。
