Mediation• Statistical method, potential mechanisms
• Residential Environment & CORonary heart Disease Study Chaix, et al., 2008; Chaix, et al., 2010 • Individual SES, Neighborhood SES – PA – BP*
• Neighborhood Education Level, Urbanicity – BMI, Waist – SBP
• The NHLBI Family Intervention Trial for Heart Health Fischer Aggarwal, et al. 2008• Social Support – PA – HDL, not BP
4
Theoretical Approach• Social ecological framework
• Social cognitive theory
• Environment � Behaviors � Health Outcomes

Participants• Positive Action for Today’s Health (PATH)
• Three matched communities
• Environmental PA intervention
• Baseline PATH measures
• 434 African American adults
• Excluded for BP or BS or moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA)

Measures• Social Support for Exercise Habits Scale; peers
• NEWS; walking & cycling subscale
• Accelerometry; intensity, frequency of movement
• FWH; interview-reported PA
• Automated BP; three assessments; RN

Secondary Analyses• Additional measures of PA
• Walkability and reported walking (B=7.881, p=.045), not reported exercise
• Peer support and reported walking (B=5.475, p=.082)
• Neither reported walking or exercise predicted BP

Mediated Effect = a*b
ConclusionsStrengths
• Theory-driven design & hypotheses
• Large sample of at-risk African Americans
• Two measures of PA; objective PA
Limitations
• Absence of temporal precedence- bias
• Low levels of PA and PA variability
• Sample size and power
18
Future Directions• Application within a longitudinal design
• Investigation of additional health outcomes (BMI)
• Incorporation of GIS data and multi-level designs
• Incorporation of stress biomarkers
