description: Background: The use of coercion in the treatment of persons with serious mental illness is a long debated strategy to gain adherence to treatment for persons believed to be cognitively impaired by their illness. This article examines the psychometric properties of a scale developed to measure perception of coercion. Using a psychometrically sound scale found to be both reliable and valid in a specific sample of men and women from New York State, we found no difference in perception of coercion between those court-ordered to remain in treatment following hospital discharge and those persons receiving outpatient treatment without a court order.
Methods: Therefore, to understand why, given the objective difference in the use of coercion, there was no difference in the subjective perception of coercion, we conducted 20 open-ended interviews with 11 persons without court orders and 9 persons with court orders.
Results: We found that where a collaborative relationship was established between the case manager, assigned to the patient with the court order to coordinate post-hospitalization treatment services, and the patient, it was much less likely that the patient perceived him/herself as coerced or forced to take treatment. Conversely, persons without advocates felt themselves to be coerced into treatment when there was no court order to insure treatment adherence.
Conclusion: Since perception of coercion significantly influences adherence to treatment, it is vital to identify strategies to reduce perceived coercion for all who receive treatment for serious mental illness.

description: We investigate whether quasinormal modes (QNMs) can be used in the search for signatures of extra dimensions. To address a gap in the Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) literature, we focus here on higher dimensions characterised by negative Ricci curvature. As a first step, we consider a product space comprised of a four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole space-time and a three-dimensional nilmanifold (twisted torus); we model the black hole perturbations as a scalar test field. We suggest that the extra-dimensional geometry can be stylised in the QNM effective potential as a squared mass-like term representing the Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum. We then compute the corresponding QNM spectrum using three different numerical methods, and determine a possible ``detectability bound" beyond which KK masses cannot be detected using QNMs.

Year: 2014

description: Telehealth has been heralded as a major mechanism by which elderly people can
continue to live at home but numerous pilot studies have not led to it becoming a
mainstream contributor to healthcare. This paper concludes that effective telehealth
implementation requires considerable organisational change: it is a sociotechnical design challenge. A review of the plans of 25 English health communities to introduce integrated health and social care concludes that they could lead to organisational environments conducive to mainstream deployment of telehealth. However, different kinds of integrated care are planned that make different demands on telehealth and pose different sociotechnical challenges.
Generalized Langevin equations for a driven tracer in dense soft colloids: construction and applications

description: We describe a tracer in a bath of soft Brownian colloids by a particle coupled to the density field of the other bath particles. From the Dean equation, we derive an exact equation for the evolution of the whole system, and show that the density field evolution can be linearized in the limit of a dense bath. This linearized Dean equation with a tracer taken apart is validated by the reproduction of previous results on the mean-field liquid structure and transport properties. Then, the tracer is submitted to an external force and we compute the density profile around it, its mobility and its diffusion coefficient. Our results exhibit effects such as bias enhanced diffusion that are very similar to those observed in the opposite limit of a hard core lattice gas, indicating the robustness of these effects. Our predictions are successfully tested against molecular dynamics simulations.

description: We study the time and space resolved dynamics of a qubit with an Ohmic coupling to propagating 1D photons, from weak coupling to the ultrastrong coupling regime. A nonperturbative study based on Matrix Product States (MPS) shows the following results: (i) The ground state of the combined systems contains excitations of both the qubit and the surrounding bosonic field. (ii) An initially excited qubit equilibrates through spontaneous emission to a state, which under certain conditions, is locally close to that ground state, both in the qubit and the field. (iii) The resonances of the combined qubit-photon system match those of the spontaneous emission process and also the predictions of the adiabatic renormalization [A. J. Leggett et al., Rev. Mod. Phys. 59, 1, (1987)]. Finally, a non-perturbative ab-initio calculations show that this physics can be studied using a flux qubit galvanically coupled to a superconducting transmission line.

description: We present studies of thermal entanglement of a three-spin system in triangular symmetry. Spin correlations are described within an effective Heisenberg Hamiltonian, derived from the Hubbard Hamiltonian, with super-exchange couplings modulated by an effective electric field. Additionally a homogenous magnetic field is applied to completely break the degeneracy of the system. We show that entanglement is generated in the subspace of doublet states with different pairwise spin correlations for the ground and excited states. At low temperatures thermal mixing between the doublets with the same spin destroys entanglement, however one can observe its restoration at higher temperatures due to the mixing of the states with an opposite spin orientation or with quadruplets (unentangled states) always destroys entanglement. Pairwise entanglement is quantified using concurrence for which analytical formulae are derived in various thermal mixing scenarios. The electric field plays a specific role -- it breaks the symmetry of the system and changes spin correlations. Rotating the electric field can create maximally entangled qubit pairs together with a separate spin (monogamy) that survives in a relatively wide temperature range providing robust pairwise entanglement generation at elevated temperatures.

description: We propose a technique for estimation of the mass m of the young stellar population and the starburst age T in luminous compact galaxies (LCGs). For this purpose we use LCG Hα emission line luminosities from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectra and Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) FUV and NUV continuum luminosities. The method is intended for quick estimation of m and T in large galaxy samples and does not require spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting. Estimated m and T for the sample of about 550 LCGs are compared with the same values derived from the SED fitting in the wavelength range λλ3800 -- 9200Å. We obtain the average differences in log m and T of 0.27 and 0.87 Myr, respectively. This technique could be used for selection of galaxies with desired ranges of m and T or for reducing a range of parameter variations in SED fitting.

description: We are currently developing and testing an instrument that can potentially open up voluntariness to further study and reasoned policy-making. To substantiate the necessity and usefulness of efforts to protect the voluntariness of consent requires a valid and reliable way of assessing such voluntariness. Relatedly, e.g., the development of just such an instrument has opened up research on decisional competence, permitting more informed policy discussions. Presently, no reliable and valid measure of voluntariness exists. A few studies have examined, sometimes based on as a little as a single question, subjects' perceptions of whether they felt free to make participation decisions or would face sanctions for refusal. Yet no two studies have used the same methods, or reliable and valid instruments. Challenges arise in developing a measure: subjects' experiences and perceptions may not fully correlate with objective independent assessments, and constructs (e.g., "pressures") can be hard to operationalize. We are conducting open-ended interviews with researchers and subjects to identify reasons subjects offer for participation, determinants that may shape their choices (e.g., offers, pressures, and threats), and variations across populations. We are then drafting an instrument to assess determinants of subjects' decisions, and will be piloting it, demonstrating reliability and validity with subjects in clinical trials in 3 areas: substance abuse, HIV, and metastatic cancer, determining test-retest reliability, and convergent validity using 2 existing measures. We will discuss results from initial interviews with recruiters that suggest that, e.g., monetary and other incentives, rather than 'altruism,' play major roles in subjects' decisions. To begin to explore these issues in these ways can potentially contribute substantially to understanding the issues involved.

description: The 1960s and 1970s were a time of substantial changes in approaches to involuntary hospitalization and treatment in the United States, a process that was also reflected elsewhere in the world. Objections to the use of coercion in psychiatry became widespread, rooted in concerns about the reality of mental illnesses, the effects of institutional treatment, financial considerations, and growing attention to patients' rights. This movement led to narrowed criteria for civil commitment (from criteria based on need for treatment to dangerousness-based criteria), along with increased procedural protections. Committed patients were given unprecedented rights to refuse treatment in many jurisdictions. Advocates envisioned steady progress towards a community-based, essentially consensual system of care. In the early 21st century, however, it has become apparent that, even as coercive treatment in institutions has diminished, new forms of coercion have developed to enforce treatment in the community. These include mental health courts, probation and parole requirements, outpatient commitment, and use of informal leverage over patients' money, housing, parenting rights, and the like. Coercive treatment in psychiatry has not disappeared, and may not even have diminished. Rather it has moved from the institution to the community. This presentation will describe this evolution and consider the lessons that may be drawn regarding the future of psychiatric treatment and systems of care.

description: We derive a new method to infer from data the out-of-equilibrium alignment dynamics of collectively moving animal groups, by considering the maximum entropy distribution consistent with temporal and spatial correlations of flight direction. When bird neighborhoods evolve rapidly, this dynamical inference correctly learns the parameters of the model, while a static one relying only on the spatial correlations fails. When neighbors change slowly and detailed balance is satisfied, we recover the static procedure. We demonstrate the validity of the method on simulated data. The approach is applicable to other systems of active matter.

description: Background: Assertive community treatment (ACT) has become one of the cornerstones of care for people with serious mental illnesses. ACT is usually conceptualized as incorporating a multidisciplinary team approach, active and persistent attempts to engage clients, direct provision of comprehensive health and social care, and in-vivo and out-of-hours working. In addition, the service is ongoing, not time-limited, and has a low practitioner-to-client ratio (usually 1:10). However, ACT is not without its critics, many of them focused on the use of "coercive" techniques with ACT patients 12. At one end of the spectrum are those opponents of ACT who contend, "ACT is largely a euphemistic label for coercion." Despite substantial interest in the coercive aspects of ACT, no studies have focused specifically on understanding the phenomenology of the use and experience of leverage in ACT.
Methods: Staff and patients of 4 ACT teams in Manhattan were recruited to participate in focus groups exploring their experiences with and opinions about the use of leverage in ACT. A total of 21 patients and 24 staff members participated with group size ranging from 10 to 12 members.
Results: With only one exception, patients said uniformly that they did not believe that their ACT team was coercive or went too far in pressuring them to comply with treatment. ACT staff seemed more aware of the dangers of engaging in coercive behavior. Hence, they indicated a need to "keep each other in check."
Conclusion: This preliminary series of focus groups with patients and staff members of ACT programs revealed little evidence from either set of participants of significant use of leverage or perceptions of coercion. Instead both patients and staff reported that supporting patients and building relationships with them were the preferred mechanisms for promoting treatment goals. This study suggests that ACT is not an intrinsically coercive model for the delivery of mental health services.

description: Background: Genomic studies of complex tissues pose unique analytical challenges for assessment of data quality, performance of statistical methods used for data extraction, and detection of differentially expressed genes. Ideally, to assess the accuracy of gene expression analysis methods, one needs a set of genes which are known to be differentially expressed in the samples and which can be used as a "gold standard". We introduce the idea of using sex-chromosome genes as an alternative to spiked-in control genes or simulations for assessment of microarray data and analysis methods.
Results: Expression of sex-chromosome genes were used as true internal biological controls to compare alternate probe-level data extraction algorithms (Microarray Suite 5.0 [MAS5.0], Model Based Expression Index [MBEI] and Robust Multi-array Average [RMA]), to assess microarray data quality and to establish some statistical guidelines for analyzing large-scale gene expression. These approaches were implemented on a large new dataset of human brain samples. RMA-generated gene expression values were markedly less variable and more reliable than MAS5.0 and MBEI-derived values. A statistical technique controlling the false discovery rate was applied to adjust for multiple testing, as an alternative to the Bonferroni method, and showed no evidence of false negative results. Fourteen probesets, representing nine Y- and two X-chromosome linked genes, displayed significant sex differences in brain prefrontal cortex gene expression.
Conclusion: In this study, we have demonstrated the use of sex genes as true biological internal controls for genomic analysis of complex tissues, and suggested analytical guidelines for testing alternate oligonucleotide microarray data extraction protocols and for adjusting multiple statistical analysis of differentially expressed genes. Our results also provided evidence for sex differences in gene expression in the brain prefrontal cortex, supporting the notion of a putative direct role of sex-chromosome genes in differentiation and maintenance of sexual dimorphism of the central nervous system. Importantly, these analytical approaches are applicable to all microarray studies that include male and female human or animal subjects.

description: Measurements from the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) and Magnetometer (MAG) on the MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging spacecraft during 40 orbits about Mercury are used to characterize the plasma depletion layer just exterior to the planet’s dayside magnetopause. A plasma depletion layer forms at Mercury as a result of piled-up magnetic flux that is draped around the magnetosphere. The low average upstream Alfvénic Mach number (MA ~3–5) in the solar wind at Mercury often
results in large-scale plasma depletion in the magnetosheath between the subsolar magnetopause and the bow shock. Flux pileup is observed to occur downstream under both quasi-perpendicular and quasi-parallel shock geometries for all orientations of the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Furthermore, little to no plasma depletion is seen during some periods with stable northward IMF. The consistently low value of plasma β, the ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure, at the magnetopause associated with the low average upstream MA is believed to be the cause for the high average reconnection rate at Mercury, reported to be nearly 3 times that observed at Earth. Finally, a characteristic depletion length outward from the subsolar magnetopause of ~300 km is found for Mercury. This value scales among planetary bodies as the average standoff distance of the magnetopause.

description: Developers often evolve an existing software system by making internal changes, called migration. Moving to a new framework, changing implementation to improve efficiency, and upgrading a dependency to its latest version are examples of migrations.
 Migration is a common and typically continuous maintenance task undertaken either manually or through tooling. Certain migrations are labor intensive and costly, developers do not find the required work rewarding, and they may take years to complete. Hence, automation is preferred for such migrations.
 In this paper, we discuss a large-scale, costly and traditionally manual migration project at Google, propose a novel automated algorithm that uses change location discovery and a Large Language Model (LLM) to aid developers conduct the migration, report the results of a large case study, and discuss lessons learned.
 Our case study on 39 distinct migrations undertaken by three developers over twelve months shows that a total of 595 code changes with 93,574 edits have been submitted, where 74.45% of the code changes and 69.46% of the edits were generated by the LLM. The developers reported high satisfaction with the automated tooling, and estimated a 50% reduction on the total time spent on the migration compared to earlier manual migrations.
 Our results suggest that our automated, LLM-assisted workflow can serve as a model for similar initiatives.

description: We describe the design and performance of a series of fast, precise current sensing noise thermometers. The thermometers have been fabricated with a range of resistances from 1.290 $Ω$ down to 0.2 m$\mathrmΩ$. This results in either a thermometer that has been optimised for speed, taking advantage of the improvements in superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) noise and bandwidth, or a thermometer optimised for ultra-low temperature measurement, minimising the system noise temperature. By using a single temperature calibration point, we show that noise thermometers can be used for accurate measurements over a wide range of temperatures below 4 K. Comparisons with a melting curve thermometer, a calibrated germanium thermometer and a pulsed platinum nuclear magnetic resonance thermometer are presented. For the 1.290 $\mathrmΩ$ resistance we measure a 1 % precision in just 100 ms, and have shown this to be independent of temperature.

description: We apply both the theory of boundary triples and perturbation theory to the setting of semi-bounded Sturm-Liouville operators with two limit-circle endpoints. For general boundary conditions we obtain refined and new results about their eigenvalues and eigenfunctions. In the boundary triple setup, we obtain simple criteria for identifying which self-adjoint extensions possess double eigenvalues when the parameter is a matrix. We also identify further spectral properties of the Friedrichs extension and (when the operator is positive) the von Neumann-Krein extension. Motivated by some recent scalar Aronszajn-Donoghue type results, we find that real numbers can only be eigenvalues for two extensions of Sturm-Liouville operator when the boundary conditions are restricted to corresponding to affine lines in the space from which the perturbation parameter is taken. Furthermore, we determine much of the spectral representation of those Sturm-Liouville operators that can be reached by perturbation theory.

description: Background: DSM-IV identifies three stress response disorders (acute stress Disorder (ASD), post-traumatic stress Disorder (PTSD) and adjustment disorders (AD)) that derive from specific life events. An additional condition of complicated grief (CG), well described in the literature, is triggered by bereavement. This paper reports on the reliability and validity of the Structured Clinical Interview for Trauma and Loss Spectrum (SCI-TALS) developed to assess the spectrum of stress response. The instrument is based on a spectrum model that emphasizes soft signs, low-grade symptoms, subthreshold syndromes, as well as temperamental and personality traits comprising clinical and subsyndromal manifestations.
Methods: Study participants, enrolled at 6 Italian Departments of Psychiatry located at six sites, included consecutive patients with PTSD, 44 with CG and a comparative group of 48 unselected controls.
Results: We showed good reliability and validity of the SCI-TALS. Domain scores were significantly higher in participants with PTSD or CG compared to controls. There were high correlations between specific SCI-TALS domains and corresponding scores on established measures of similar constructs. Participants endorsing grief and loss events reported similar scores on all instruments, except those with CG who scored significantly higher on the domain of grief reactions.
Conclusion: These findings provide strong support for the internal consistency, the discriminant validity and the reliability of the SCI-TALS. These results also support the existence of a specific grief-related condition and the proposal that different forms of stress response have similar manifestations.

description: Person-centred community-based support services (PCCBSS) are services that direct people to a range of activities that might help them improve their health and wellbeing. There is a lack of understanding about how these support services are put into practice, how services work with each other, and how these services responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study, named ‘Connected Communities’, is to find out how existing PCCBSS have been set up, and to provide recommendations for those hoping to do something similar. There are two parts to the study: work package 1 (WP1) and work package 2 (WP2). WP1 will review existing documents from three PCCBSS, including published and unpublished reports, and extract any relevant information about how the services were set up. WP2 will interview service providers (staff in the PCCBSS who help support individuals) and linked providers (professionals who work in, or with, the PCCBSS either to refer individuals, or run local community services). These interviews aim to explore how each service compares to others, the experience of working for, or with, the service, and factors that make the service easier or harder to deliver. People who use the service (service users) will also be interviewed to find out what support they received, how well they felt their needs were supported, and their understanding of the service. The information about how the services were set up and delivered will be put into a framework, or selection of implementation factors, looking at the setting, the people involved, the design of the PCCBSS and the process of setting the services up. The findings from this ‘Connected Communities’ study will inform a list of recommendations, a sort of toolkit, for people wanting to set up similar services in the future.

description: Background: The study of epistasis is of great importance in statistical genetics in fields such as linkage and association analysis and QTL mapping. In an effort to classify the types of epistasis in the case of two biallelic loci Li and Reich listed and described all models in the simplest case of 0/1 penetrance values. However, they left open the problem of finding a classification of two-locus models with continuous penetrance values.
Results: We provide a complete classification of biallelic two-locus models. In addition to solving the classification problem for dichotomous trait disease models, our results apply to any instance where real numbers are assigned to genotypes, and provide a complete framework for studying epistasis in QTL data. Our approach is geometric and we show that there are 387 distinct types of two-locus models, which can be reduced to 69 when symmetry between loci and alleles is accounted for. The model types are defined by 86 circuits, which are linear combinations of genotype values, each of which measures a fundamental unit of interaction.
Conclusion: The circuits provide information on epistasis beyond that contained in the additive × additive, additive × dominance, and dominance × dominance interaction terms. We discuss the connection between our classification and standard epistatic models and demonstrate its utility by analyzing a previously published dataset.

description: We present the results of the characterization of silicon pixel modules employing n-in-p planar sensors with an active thickness of 150 $\mathrmμ$m, produced at MPP/HLL, and 100-200 $\mathrmμ$m thin active edge sensor devices, produced at VTT in Finland. These thin sensors are designed as candidates for the ATLAS pixel detector upgrade to be operated at the HL-LHC, as they ensure radiation hardness at high fluences. They are interconnected to the ATLAS FE-I3 and FE-I4 read-out chips. Moreover, the n-in-p technology only requires a single side processing and thereby it is a cost-effective alternative to the n-in-n pixel technology presently employed in the LHC experiments. High precision beam test measurements of the hit efficiency have been performed on these devices both at the CERN SpS and at DESY, Hamburg. We studied the behavior of these sensors at different bias voltages and different beam incident angles up to the maximum one expected for the new Insertable B-Layer of ATLAS and for HL-LHC detectors. Results obtained with 150 $\mathrmμ$m thin sensors, assembled with the new ATLAS FE-I4 chip and irradiated up to a fluence of 4$\times$10$^{15}\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{eq}}/\mathrm{cm}^2$, show that they are excellent candidates for larger radii of the silicon pixel tracker in the upgrade of the ATLAS detector at HL-LHC. In addition, the active edge technology of the VTT devices maximizes the active area of the sensor and reduces the material budget to suit the requirements for the innermost layers. The edge pixel performance of VTT modules has been investigated at beam test experiments and the analysis after irradiation up to a fluence of 5$\times$10$^{15}\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{eq}}/\mathrm{cm}^2$ has been performed using radioactive sources in the laboratory.

description: Health Information Exchange (HIE) can have several benefits, in particular
facilitating access to and sharing of patient-related information. Despite these potential benefits, implementation and maintenance of HIEs have been challenging and many attempts to develop HIEs have been abandoned. Most research on HIE focuses on the financial, organizational, and technical aspects of HIE and tends to ignore user acceptance and use of HIE. In this study we examined the Keystone HIE (KeyHIE) and surveyed clinicians to evaluate KeyHIE from their perspective. Results show that –from a user perspective- there are several barriers to the use of KeyHIE. Results of the study can help further development of KeyHIE and are useful for other HIEs.

description: The ponderomotive force is suggested to be the main mechanism to produce the so-called first ionization potential (FIP) effect - the enrichment of low FIP elements observed in the outer solar atmosphere. It is well known that the ionization of these elements occurs within the chromosphere. Therefore, this phenomenon is intimately tied to the plasma state in the chromosphere and the corona. In addition, the chromosphere is a highly complex region with a large variation in the ion-neutral collision frequencies, and hydrogen and helium ionization is largely out of equilibrium. For this study, we combine IRIS observations, a single fluid 2.5D radiative magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) model of the solar atmosphere, including ion-neutral interaction effects and non-equilibrium (NEQ) ionization effects, and a novel multi-fluid multi-species (MFMS) numerical code (Ebysus). Nonthermal velocities of Si IV measured from IRIS spectra can provide an upper limit for the strength of any high-frequency Alfven waves. With the single-fluid model, we investigate the possible impact of NEQ ionization within the region where the FIP may occur and the plasma properties in those regions. These models suggest that regions with strong enhanced network and type II spicules are associated with the presence of large ponderomotive forces. From the plasma properties from the single-fluid MHD model and IRIS observations, we initialize our multi-fluid models to investigate the multi-fluid effects on the ponderomotive force associated with Alfven waves. Our multi-fluid analysis reveals that collisions and NEQ ionization effects dramatically impact the behavior of the ponderomotive force in the chromosphere, and existing theories may need to be revisited.

description: We use polarized neutron scattering to demonstrate that in-plane spin excitations in electron doped superconducting BaFe1.904Ni0.096As2 (Tc=19.8 K) change from isotropic to anisotropic in the tetragonal phase well above the antiferromagnetic (AF) ordering and tetragonal-to-orthorhombic lattice distortion temperatures (Tn=Ts=33 K) without an uniaxial pressure. While the anisotropic spin excitations are not sensitive to the AF order and tetragonal-to-orthorhombic lattice distortion, superconductivity induces further anisotropy for spin excitations along the [1,1,0] and [1,-1,0] directions. These results indicate that the spin excitation anisotropy is a probe of the electronic anisotropy or orbital ordering in the tetragonal phase of iron pnictides.

description: We present a short review of studies comparing the effect of passive with active pause during computer work and their interaction with the experimental muscle pain. The subjects performed a standardized computer task. We asked them to either perform an isometric shoulder elevation (active pause), or simply relax (passive pause) on a regular basis. Subsequently, exogenous and endogenous models of experimental pain were applied to the trapezius muscle. We observed a more variable pattern of muscular activity in response to active pause but this potentially beneficial effect was less potent in presence of experimental pain.

description: Background: Environments conducive to walking may help people avoid sedentary lifestyles and associated diseases. Recent studies developed walkability models combining several built environment characteristics to optimally predict walking. Developing and testing such models with the same data could lead to overestimating one's ability to predict walking in an independent sample of the population. More accurate estimates of model fit can be obtained by splitting a single study population into training and validation sets (holdout approach) or through developing and evaluating models in different populations. We used these two approaches to test whether built environment characteristics near the home predict walking for exercise. Study participants lived in western Washington State and were adult members of a health maintenance organization. The physical activity data used in this study were collected by telephone interview and were selected for their relevance to cardiovascular disease. In order to limit confounding by prior health conditions, the sample was restricted to participants in good self-reported health and without a documented history of cardiovascular disease.
Results: For 1,608 participants meeting the inclusion criteria, the mean age was 64 years, 90 percent were white, 37 percent had a college degree, and 62 percent of participants reported that they walked for exercise. Single built environment characteristics, such as residential density or connectivity, did not significantly predict walking for exercise. Regression models using multiple built environment characteristics to predict walking were not successful at predicting walking for exercise in an independent population sample. In the validation set, none of the logistic models had a C-statistic confidence interval excluding the null value of 0.5, and none of the linear models explained more than one percent of the variance in time spent walking for exercise. We did not detect significant differences in walking for exercise among census areas or postal codes, which were used as proxies for neighborhoods.
Conclusion: None of the built environment characteristics significantly predicted walking for exercise, nor did combinations of these characteristics predict walking for exercise when tested using a holdout approach. These results reflect a lack of neighborhood-level variation in walking for exercise for the population studied.
