Abstract	Objective: We assessed changes in the frequency of self-reported physical activity (PA) among tween girls exposed and not exposed to the VERB [TM] Summer Scorecard (VSS) intervention in Lexington, Kentucky, during 2004, 2006, and 2007. Methods: Girls who reported 0-1 day per week of PA were classi?ed as having "little or no" PA. Girls who reported 2-3 days of PA were classi?ed as "low" PA performers; 4-5 days of PA were labeled as "moderate" performers; and 6-7 days of PA were identi?ed as "high" performers. Logit regression analysis of survey data from girls identi?ed trends in PA frequency across time. Results: In 2004, participant girls were more likely than girls unfamiliar with VSS (reference group girls) to report "high" frequency of PA (OR = 1.44, CI = 1.18, 1.70). In 2006, participants were statistically less likely than reference group girls to report "low" frequency of PA (OR = 1.75, CI = 1.33, 2.21). In 2007, VSS participants were consistently more likely to report "moderate" frequency (OR = 1.56, CI = 1.35, 1.77) and "high" frequency of PA (OR = 1.44, CI = 1.24, 1.64) than reference group girls. Conclusion: An innovative, community-driven intervention demonstrated promise for increasing PA among tween girls. VSS may have transportability to other communities to help reverse the secular trend of declining PA for this population segment. (Contains 2 tables.) (As Provided).
