Abbreviations: CCS, childhood cancer survivors; PA, physical activity; SE, standard error.

a

Adjusted for body mass index, income, smoking, and clustering of matched participants (matched on sex, age, and location).

b

Measured on four-point Likert scales, where 1=strongly disagree, 2=somewhat disagree, 3=somewhat agree, and 4=strongly agree that a particular barrier makes it difficult to actively travel.

c

Scores range from 1 to 5, with higher scores indicating greater perceived walkability.

d

Walk Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater walkability.

e

Adjusted for sex and age.
