Renewal of a previously funded IDEA grant. The original grant added city planning data and direct observations of neighborhood circumstances to incorporate how neighborhoods are designed and how they appear on the ground to an analysis on girls’ diet, physical activity, body mass index, and pubertal maturation. This renewal grant extends to project to include data from the OurSpace: Neighborhood database initiative (see Barbara Laraia’s projects) on grocery stores, produce stores, restaurants, fast food outlets, other food establishments, and parks and recreational facilities.
