Abstract:

The design of sampling and data collection for the NEWPATH survey, conducted in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, are presented as a case study in design of a complex survey of health behaviors, including travel patterns, objectively- and subjectively-measured physical activity behaviors, diet-related behaviors, and health outcomes. Features of this design include stratification of the sample with respect to neighborhood walkability, household income and household size with allocation to achieve high statistical power, and carrying out sampling in phases to achieve cost efficiencies. The final data set is approximately representative of the population in terms of demographic measures, and survey weights compensate for biases introduced by oversampling of high- and low-walkability areas as well as differential non-response.
