Promoting physical activity and reducing sedentary behavior in disadvantaged neighborhoods: a qualitative study of what women want.

Since women living in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods are more likely to be physically inactive and engage in higher levels of sedentary behavior than women living in more advantaged neighborhoods, it is important to develop and test the feasibility of strategies aimed to promote physi...
