Summary
This trial tests a community program called Going Places, designed to help low-income teens aged 12-18 learn to use local transportation to reach parks and other activity programs. The program includes workshops, field trips, and advocacy activities. Researchers will measure whether it increases daily steps and improves teens' confidence in getting around, with the goal of supporting physical activity and long-term cardiometabolic health.
