Difference-in-difference (DiD) analysis controlling for a public transportation strike during the study period was performed for all streets. in addi- tion, for streets with at least one year of data, interrupted time series (ITS) analysis was conducted to corroborate DiD results. Results There was some variation in effects between locations: significant net increases in cycling counts were observ [...] Discussion Infrastructural improvements were found to be effective for larger arterial streets and those with longer fol- low-up periods. The use of multiple control streets as well as ITS analysis lends weight to our findings. Further research should investigate why improvements were more effective at increasing cycling levels in certain streets than in others. OP50 PUSH AND/OR PULL: A SYSTEMATIC [...] To identify which types of interventions are more effective, this systematic review and meta-analysis aims to (1) compare the effectiveness of positive (‘carrot’) strategies, negative (‘stick’) strategies, or a combination of the two on modifying travel behaviour and (2) assess which functions have greater impacts on travel outcomes. Methods Nine databases were searched for controlled before- and- [...] Depending on whether gains or losses of functions could occur, interventions were classified as carrots (e.g. [...] Results for carrot inter- ventions, however, were more less consistent than for stick or combined interventions. This was consistent with findings from the meta-analysis, which were statistically nonsignificant but had point-estimates of greater magnitude for driving out- comes for sticks (SMD -0.21; 95%CI -0.43, 0.01) and com- bined carrot and stick interventions (-0.17; -0.65, 0.31) compared to [...] Financial functions were found to be the most effective for driving outcomes, whereas access, convenience, safety, and space were more effective for active travel outcomes. Discussion This is the first review to compare whether posi- tive, negative, or combined strategies and their functions differ in terms of effectiveness on travel behaviour, which can aid policymakers in designing sustainable t [...] Methods In order to systematically evaluate the benefit of per- forming arts interventions in PD, searches on PsycINFO, AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, and MEDLINE were performed in February 2020. [...] Included studies used any quantitative design to assess the benefit of any active group-based performing arts intervention on quality of life, functional com- munication, speech, motor function or cognitive status for people with diagnosed PD. [...] We aimed to i) identify local authorities in England with the highest need for children’s physical activity promotion and ii) determine whether TDM reaches schools in areas of high need. [...] Methods This was a cross-sectional study linking routinely col- lected data from a range of sources including the Active Lives Surveys and national datasets.
