All regressions were adjusted for sociodemographic covariates. Figures in parentheses are 95% confidence intervals. The traffic and crime “safety” scales were inverted relative to the original “crime” and “traffic” scales used by Sallis and colleagues in order to make the expected signs consistent across scales.
