[H+T--Friends] FYI: MEASURES FOR SUCCESS: Paper on better evaluation for individualized marketing TDM campaigns

by Ray, Renee

FYI. I found this paper very interesting, and I think some pieces are relevant to those of us who work in the health field, particularly as we work to build an evidence base. I also appreciated that logic models were the first practice listed. My education is in urban planning, and the logic model is probably the most valuable tool I picked up during the years I worked in a public health setting.

This report, which was written by Jessica Roberts, Derek Hofbauer, and Katie Mangle of Alta Planning + Design, draws on interviews with evaluation experts in a variety of fields beyond transportation to provide insight into new ways to measure the success of TDM, particularly individualized marketing campaigns. You can find it on our website - the first paper available at http://transitcenter.org/transit-tools/. (If you are at the ACT conference, you may have seen Jessica, Derek and I discuss this at yesterday's "Making Your Case" session.) It outlines the use of tools that are new or uncommonly used in the individualized marketing field, such as a Stages of Change model for program design, logic models (typically used in public health campaigns), A/B testing, and more. Thanks to the many TDM professionals who advised this work, including Tien-Tien Chan, Carol Cooper, Heleen Dewey, Linda Ginenthal, Sarah Goforth, Alex Keating, Antoinette Meier, Emma Pachuta, Krute Singa, and Sean Wiedel!

Re: [H+T--Friends] article of interest (walking & exposure to crash risk)

by Abildso, Christiaan

Thanks Ed - another of potential interest Quistberg, D. A., Howard, E. J., Hurvitz, P. M., Moudon, A. V., Ebel, B. E., Rivara, F. P., & Saelens, B. E. (2017). The Relationship Between Objectively Measured Walking and Risk of Pedestrian-Motor Vehicle Collision. American Journal of Epidemiology, 185(9), 810-821. doi: 10.1093/aje/kwx020 https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/doi/10.1093/aje/kwx020/3058755/The-Rel… Abstract Safe urban walking environments may improve health by encouraging physical activity, but the relationship between an individual's location and walking pattern and the risk of pedestrian-motor vehicle collision is unknown. We examined associations between individuals' walking bouts and walking risk, measured as mean exposure to the risk of pedestrian-vehicle collision. Walking bouts were ascertained through integrated accelerometry and global positioning system data and from individual travel-diary data obtained from adults in the Travel Assessment and Community Study (King County, Washington) in 2008-2009. Walking patterns were superimposed onto maps of the historical probabilities of pedestrian-vehicle collisions for intersections and midblock segments within Seattle, Washington. Mean risk of pedestrian-vehicle collision in specific walking locations was assessed according to walking exposure (duration, distance, and intensity) and participant demographic characteristics in linear mixed models. Participants typically walked in areas with low pedestrian collision risk when walking for recreation, walking at a faster pace, or taking longer-duration walks. Mean daily walking duration and distance were not associated with collision risk. Males walked in areas with higher collision risk compared with females, while vehicle owners, residents of single-family homes, and parents of young children walked in areas with lower collision risk. These findings may suggest that pedestrians moderate collision risk by using lower-risk routes. -----Original Message----- From: h+t--friends-bounces(a)chrispy.net [mailto:h+t--friends-bounces@chrispy.net] On Behalf Of h+t--friends-request(a)chrispy.net Sent: Friday, July 28, 2017 1:00 PM To: h+t--friends(a)chrispy.net Subject: H+T--Friends Digest, Vol 75, Issue 3 Send H+T--Friends mailing list submissions to h+t--friends(a)chrispy.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://www.chrispy.net/mailman/listinfo/h+t--friends or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to h+t--friends-request(a)chrispy.net You can reach the person managing the list at h+t--friends-owner(a)chrispy.net When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of H+T--Friends digest..."
