1 |
Study design |
Did the study include a comparison that did not receive a change in built environment? |
2 |
Sampling approach |
Did the sampling approach generate a sample that reflected the wider population of interest (e.g., reporting that there were similar characteristics in the sample in comparison to census/other population data for the area of interest)? |
3 |
Incomplete outcome data (assessments were made for each outcome/class of outcomes) |
Were incomplete outcome data adequately addressed? (e.g., were details of how missing data were handled reported, such as ITT analysis? Was sensitivity analysis conducted, with n = reported for outcomes at all time points?) |
4 |
Selective outcome reporting |
Are reports of the study free of suggestion of selective outcome reporting? (e.g., all outcomes mentioned in methods are reported on in the results section for all groups/time points) |
5 |
Adjustment for differences in sample characteristics |
Were characteristics of sites similar at baseline? If confounders were identified, were they appropriately adjusted for in analyses? In longitudinal studies without a comparison, were characteristics of the follow-up sample similar to the baseline sample or were confounders adjusted for in analyses? |
6 |
Outcome measurement objectivity |
Was an objective assessment of health outcomes/behavior included (a measure free from participant subjectivity was used)? |
7 |
Reporting of power calculation and attrition rate effect on power |
Was a power calculation reported and the study was adequately powered to detect hypothesized relationships? |
8 |
Levels of exposure |
Was an analysis undertaken exploring changes in outcomes based on different levels of exposure (e.g., based on distance to the exposure)? |
9 |
Exposure use |
Was an analysis undertaken exploring changes in outcomes based on use/adoption of the exposure? |
