Prevalence and Correlates of Meeting Physical Activity and Screen Time Guidelines Among Children of English‐ and Non‐English‐Speaking Backgrounds in Australia
Children of NESB were less likely to meet physical activity and combined guidelines. Interventions may need to be tailored based on ESB background, with children of NESB (particularly older children and those with limited outdoor space at home) being a higher priority for intervention. Future large-scale studies examining a broader range of potential correlates, including cultural factors, are warranted.
