Independent mobility (IM) is associated with children's physical activity and indicators of social, motor, and cognitive development. We surveyed Canadian parents of 7- to 12-year-olds (n = 2291) about social-ecological correlates of IM in the second wave of COVID-19 (December 2020). We used multi-variable linear regression models to identify correlates of children's IM. Our final model (R = 0.353) included four individual-, eight family-, two social environment- and two built environment-level variables. The correlates of boys' and girls' IM were similar. Our findings suggest that interventions to support children's IM in a pandemic context should target multiple levels of influence.
独立移动能力(IM)与儿童的身体活动以及社会、运动和认知发展的指标有关。我们在第二波 COVID-19(2020 年 12 月)期间对 7 至 12 岁儿童的加拿大父母进行了调查,以了解 IM 的社会生态相关因素。我们使用多变量线性回归模型来确定儿童 IM 的相关因素。我们的最终模型(R=0.353)包括四个个体、八个家庭、两个社会环境和两个建筑环境层面的变量。男孩和女孩 IM 的相关因素相似。我们的研究结果表明,在大流行背景下支持儿童 IM 的干预措施应该针对多个影响层面。
