Few studies have investigated the association between seeing people walk and leisure-time walking, and the role of neighborhood social cohesion among Latinos/Latinx. We examined the association between frequency of seeing people walk within sight of home and leisure-time walking, and whether neighborhood social cohesion explained this association. We utilized cross-sectional data from the 2015 National Health Interview Survey from Latinos aged 18+ years (n=4,669). A structural equation model was used to estimate the association between seeing people walk and leisure-time walking, and to test the extent to which neighborhood social cohesion accounted for the association. Findings indicate that there is a strong association between seeing people walk and leisure-time walking, and neighborhood social cohesion partially explains this association among LatinosLatinx. Neighborhood social cohesion may strengthen efforts focused on neighborhood-level behavioral norms that promote walking.
很少有研究调查看到他人步行与休闲步行之间的关联，以及邻里社会凝聚力在拉丁裔/拉丁美洲裔人群中的作用。我们研究了在家附近能看到他人步行的频率与休闲步行之间的关联，以及邻里社会凝聚力是否能解释这种关联。我们使用了2015年全国健康访谈调查中18岁及以上拉丁裔人群的横断面数据（n = 4669）。采用结构方程模型来估计看到他人步行与休闲步行之间的关联，并检验邻里社会凝聚力对这种关联的解释程度。研究结果表明，看到他人步行与休闲步行之间存在很强的关联，邻里社会凝聚力在一定程度上解释了拉丁裔/拉丁美洲裔人群中的这种关联。邻里社会凝聚力可能会加强针对促进步行的邻里层面行为规范的努力。
