Abstract

Objectives. This study sought to determine whether a culturally relevant health message would promote stair use in a predominantly Hispanic community. Methods. Observations of stair, elevator, and escalator use were collected over a 6-month period at 4 sites throughout the city of El Paso, Tex. The efficacy of individual and family health promotion signs was tested. Results. Stair use increased in response to both individual and family promotion health messages, and use varied widely by intervention site. Conclusions. These results underscore the importance of considering the physical characteristics of the environments targeted for health promotion campaigns.

In a nonrandomized intervention in a predominantly Hispanic US-Mexico border community, posters at open-area staircases in various community sites produced small increases in stair use among women (absolute increases of ≈1% to 6%), with mixed results (both increases and decreases) among men.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
