Mode Measurement: Validation of a Predictive Model to Estimate Physical Activity through Active Transport

Conference Presentation:

While at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, I was the project manager on the development of a piloted system of automated bicycle and pedestrian counters across Massachusetts. This system employed a stratified random sampling approach for bicycle and pedestrian counter placement in order to ascertain community level physical activity rates.  The work emerged out of a need to collect better measures for health behaviors among Massachusetts’ residents and has been a product of our cross-agency collaboration.  We presented some early findings from this work at a Center for Disease Control conference.
