文摘

This study compares multiple data collection methods for measuring built environment features. Virtual street audits are reliable for more objective built environment measures. Street-based audits are superior for collecting fine detail environmental features. Routine secondary data sources need less resources but must be properly validated. Appropriate methods for health studies vary depending on the research question and resources.
