Based on the social ecological approach, a photovoice study was conducted to explore how neighborhood built and social environments facilitate or hinder college students' lifestyle behaviors, including physical activity, active transportation, and dietary behavior. A total of 37 college students took photos about neighborhood built and social environments that may affect their physical activity, dietary behavior, and active transportation, and shared their perceptions about how neighborhood built and social environments influence their lifestyle behaviors. Our findings demonstrated that the availability and accessibility of services, school facilities, and home facilities affected physical activity and dietary behaviors among college students. Moreover, the well-developed transportation facilities and networks benefit college students' active transportation. Environments-based interventions are recommended in future research to better understand the associations between neighborhood built and social environments and lifestyle behaviors in college students.
基于社会生态学方法,开展了一项参与式摄影研究,以探讨邻里环境和社会环境如何促进或阻碍大学生的生活方式行为,包括身体活动、积极的交通方式和饮食行为。共有 37 名大学生拍摄了有关邻里环境和社会环境的照片,这些环境可能会影响他们的身体活动、饮食行为和积极的交通方式,并分享了他们对邻里环境和社会环境如何影响他们生活方式行为的看法。研究结果表明,服务、学校设施和家庭设施的可及性和可达性影响了大学生的身体活动和饮食行为。此外,发达的交通设施和网络有利于大学生的积极交通出行。建议在未来的研究中开展基于环境的干预措施,以更好地理解邻里环境和社会环境与大学生生活方式行为之间的关联。
