Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

Purpose.<\/strong> To determine family medicine residents\u2019 perceived knowledge and attitudes towards the built environment and their responsibility for health advocacy and to identify their perceived educational needs and barriers to patient education and advocacy.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/strong>. A web-based survey was conducted in Canada with University of Toronto family medicine residents. Data were analyzed descriptively.<\/p>\n

Results<\/strong>. 93% agreed or strongly agreed that built environment significantly impacts health. 64% thought educating patients on built environment is effective disease prevention; 52% considered this a role of family physicians. 78% reported that advocacy for built environment is effective disease prevention; 56% perceived this to be the family physician\u2019s role. 59% reported being knowledgeable to discuss how a patient\u2019s environment may affect his\/her health; 35% reported being knowledgeable to participate in community discussions on built environment. 78% thought education would help with integration into practice. Inadequate time (92%), knowledge (73%), and remuneration (54%) were barriers.<\/p>\n

Conclusions.<\/strong> While residents perceived value in education and advocacy as disease prevention strategies and acknowledged the importance of a healthy built environment, they did not consider advocacy towards this the family physician\u2019s role. Barrier reduction and medical education may contribute to improved advocacy, ultimately improving physical activity levels and patient health outcomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
