مستخلص: Shared use agreements (SUA) could increase opportunities for physical activity (PA) in under-resourced, urban areas. Despite recent investments in SUAs, the extent to which they reach communities in need and the level of community awareness and use of SUAs remains unclear. This cross-sectional study examined: 1) the distribution of SUAs in Los Angeles (LA) during the 2015-2016 academic year, 2) the characteristics of communities where SUAs were located, and 3) the extent to which community members were aware of and using available facilities. Assessment methods included: 1) abstraction of school administrative data reflecting the geographic distribution and scope of SUAs in LA, 2) collation of community-level Census and local planning data to describe demographic characteristics and per capita park acreage of communities where SUAs were located, and 3) collection of data via an Internet panel survey of LA adults (n = 371) examining awareness and use of SUA facilities. Under 3% of schools had a SUA in place during the study period. Compared to other areas of the city, areas within one mile of SUAs had more Hispanic/Latino, low-income, and lower educational status residents. Among survey respondents, 25.6% of those living within one mile of a SUA reported having access to school facilities; 48.6% of those reporting access reported using them. Although potentially targeted in high-needs areas, community members may not be aware of or utilizing SUA facilities. Additional efforts are needed to both expand access to school-based PA resources and attract community users.
