abstract="Adolescent active transport to school (ATS) is influenced by demographic, social, environmental and policy factors. Yet, the relationship between school neighbourhood built environment (SN-BE) and adolescents' ATS remains largely unexplored. This observational study examined associations between observed, objectively-measured and perceived SN-BE features and adolescents' ATS in Dunedin (New Zealand). Adolescents' perception of safety of walking to school was the strongest correlate of ATS among adolescents living ≤ 2.25 km of school, whereas assessed micro- and macro-scale SN-BE features were not significantly correlated with ATS. Adolescents' perceptions of walking safety should be considered as a part of comprehensive efforts to encourage ATS.  Keywords: SR2S<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
