Physical Behavior Score

The physical behavior score (PBS) combines 8 different physical behaviors (e.g., exercise, television viewing) into a single score ranging from 0-100. The methodology is described in Keadle SK, Kravitz E, Matthews CE, Tseng M and Carroll RJ. Development and testing of an integrated score for physical behaviors.

The code was written by Eli Kravitz and allows the PBS to be calculated for an individual or a group. Please note all of the files need to be saved in the same folder for the code to run properly. Additional instructions are provided within the files. Download the R-code here.
