Researchers have rarely addressed the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and physical activity from the perspective of youth. To illuminate the factors that youth from low-and high-SES areas consider important to increase physical activity participation among their peers, 160 youth (12-18 years) participated in small focus group interviews. Guiding questions centered on the general theme, If you were the one in charge of increasing the physical activity levels of kids your age, what would you do? Findings show that environmental-factors (i.e., proximity, cost,facilities, and safety) are very important for youth living in low-SES areas to ensure participation in physical activity. Results also show that intrapersonal (i.e., perceived skill, competence, time) and social factors (i.e.,friends, adult support) must be considered to help improve participation rates among both high- and low-SES youth.
