Research recommendations coming out of this guidance How could existing guidance on evaluating complex, population-wide interventions be most usefully adapted and applied to approaches that aim to increase rates of walking and cycling? What key factors influence the effectiveness of population-level or whole-area approaches to encouraging walking or cycling? How do these factors interact? How do individual and local factors influence the effectiveness of specific approaches to encouraging walking or cycling? What key factors ensure people continue to walk or cycle in the long term (over a year)? How do individual interventions (such as follow-up or goal-setting) interact with environmental factors (such as distance, perception of danger or provision of facilities) in encouraging people to continue to walk or cycle? What key factors influence differences in walking and cycling behaviour among different groups – and what are the implications for interventions aiming to achieve population-level change and reduce inequalities?
