Data were used from the 2012-2014 Women and Their Children¡¯s Health (WaTCH) Study (n = 940). Generalized linear models were used to obtain odds ratios (ORs) for BMI (¡İ30 kg/m2), WC (>88 cm), and WHR (>0.85). Using an audit approach, more adverse neighborhood characteristics were associated with a higher odds of WC (OR: 1.10; 95% confidence interval [CI]: [1.05, 1.15]) and WHR (OR: 1.09; 95% CI: [1.05, 1.14]) after adjustment for age, race/ethnicity, income, and oil spill exposure. There were no significant associations between GIS- and Census-based measures with obesity in adjusted models. Quality aspects of the neighborhood environment captured by audits at the individual-level may be more relevant to obesity than physical or social aspects at the census tract-level %K public health %K behavior change %K GIS (geographic information system) %K mixed methods %K neighborhood/community %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0013916517726827
