“…Globally, the prevalence of ACS varies across countries ranging from 11-53% in children (19,(34)(35)(36) and from 28-70% in adolescents (13,(34)(35)(36)(37). In the present study, 60% Spanish children and adolescents were using ACS during the 2010-2017 period.…”

“…In addition, factors such as the heterogeneity of research questions and methods of assessing the mode of commuting to school differ between countries (40). These differences may contribute to cross-country variations in prevalence of ACS among children and adolescents observed in this and other studies (13,19,(34)(35)(36). Therefore, interventions aiming to increase higher rates of ACS are necessary from a public health perspective to achieve increasing physical activity and reducing time spent in sedentary behaviors among Spanish children and adolescents.…”

“…In our study, street connectivity and residential density measures acted as barriers and not as facilitators of ACS among rural participants. Thus, it is necessary to highlight that diverse criteria are used in rural area definitions across countries (e.g., considering the total population, population density, or some economic indicators) [28,42,43], and that the street connectivity and residential density factors seem to be adapted to urban areas. Thus more specific walkability measures should be developed for rural contexts in future studies.…”

“…Many school districts in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, and the UK offer traffic education as part of their regular curriculum (ETSC, 2019). That includes the instruction and training of children in safe walking and cycling skills, which is important because children in those countries walk or bike for a large share of their trips (NL: 64%, DK: 51%, GER: 43%, UK: 34%) (Pucher & Buehler, 2010;Buehler & Pucher, 2021a, 2021bHarms et al, 2016;Kontou, McDonald, Brookshire, Pullen-Seufert, & LaJeunesse, 2020). By comparison, few American schools offer this sort of traffic safety training for young children, perhaps because such a small percentage of American children get to school by walking or cycling, indeed only 10% in 2017 (Kontou et al, 2020).…”
