1 Cronbach Alpha was established at 0.65 Estimation of residential distance from school: The actual distance travelled to school
was assessed using a detailed street level Ordinance Survey Map of the standard scale 1:
2500cm. Each child’s residential address was located on the map and assigned a
distance category, where 1= < 0.5km, 2= 0.5km – 1km and 3= >1km, indicating the
straight-line distance from residential home to the school.
