Resources for Locating and Selecting Self-Report Measures of Physical Activity Laurel A. Borowski and Heather R. Bowles APPENDIX This appendix provides a concise list of resources that may assist researchers and practitioners who need to identify and select a self-report measure of physical activ- ity for a variety of applications. The resources include websites, journal issues and articles, and textbooks which are classed into three areas: (1) locating measures, (2) narrowing a list of candidate measures, and (3) adapting existing measures or developing new measures. This appendix is intended to be a companion to the papers and resources cited elsewhere within this supplement. To create this appendix we searched the published lit- erature, reference lists, and websites to identify potential resources to include in this list. The initial search resulted in 59 resources. The authors reviewed each resource and limited the fnal list to resources that did not overlap with reviews and citations elsewhere in the supplement. While not completely comprehensive of all available journal articles, textbooks, and websites, this list is a targeted introduction to an ever expanding number of decision tools for researchers and practitioners on self-report measurement of physical activity. Locating Measures—Where Can I Find Measures and Their Validity Information? For studies of all ages: • Active Living Research (ALR): ALR supports research to identify policy and environmental infu- ences on physical activity. Included on the ALR website is a page with information about tools and measures suitable for researchers, practitioners, and community advocates. Source: Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Website: http://www.active- livingresearch.org • National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research (NCCOR) Measures Registry: NCCOR is a collaborative partnership among National Insti- tutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and United States Department of Agriculture. The collaborative created a searchable registry of mea- sures relevant to childhood obesity research that includes over 200 measures of individual level physi- cal activity. The registry includes details about each measure, including domains measured, validity and reliability, and protocols for use. Source: National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research.

The site provides a list of self-report and objective physical activity assessment tools and descriptions. Source: University of Pittsburgh. Website: http://www.parcph.org/assess.aspx For studies of adults: • A Collection of Physical Activity Questionnaires for Health-Research: This journal supplement was created by the Physical Activity Epidemiology research group at the University of Pittsburgh and contains a collection of the physical activity ques- tionnaires used in population research at this time.

For studies of all ages: • Diet and Physical Activity Measurement Toolkit: This toolkit is funded by the UK Medical Research Council and assists researchers with information on choosing a method for assessment of physical activity and sedentary behaviors.
