Abbreviations: CCS, childhood cancer survivors; CI, confidence interval; NA, not applicable; OR, odds ratio. Bolded ORs and 95% CIs indicate statistical significance (P < .05).

a

Adjusted for variables that were significantly related to the dependent variable in unadjusted analyses.

b

Adjusted for clustering of matched controls (matched on sex, age, and location).

c

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.

d

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

e

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

f

Removed from adjusted model due to multicollinearity (variance inflation factor = 2.9)
