[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS x9R0xifm. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Study objective : To assess the impact of a combined intervention on children's travel behaviour, stage of behavioural change and motivations for and barriers to actively commuting to school. Design : A quasi-experimental trial involving pre-and post-intervention mapping of routes to school by active and inactive mode of travel and surveys of "stage of behaviour change" and motivations for and barriers to actively commuting to school. Intervention : The intervention school participated in a school-based active travel project for one school term. Active travel was integrated into the curriculum and participants used interactive travel-planning resources at home. The control school participated in before and after measurements but did not receive the intervention. Setting : Two primary schools in Scotland with similar socioeconomic and demographic profiles. Participants : Two classes of primary 5 children and their families and teachers. Main results : Post intervention, the mean distance travelled to school by walking by intervention children increased significantly from baseline, from 198 to 772 m (389% increase). In the control group mean distance walked increased from 242 to 285 m (17% increase). The difference between the schools was significant (t (38)=-4.679, p
