Beginning in 2003, Active Living by Design established innovative approaches across 25 communities to increase physical activity through community design, public policies, programming, and communications strategies. The complexity of these projects called for a mixed-methods evaluation to understand implementation as well as perceived and actual impacts of these efforts. Configural frequency analysis facilitated detection of variables as well as configurations of variables occurring more (types) or less (anti-types) frequently than patterns expected by chance alone. These types and anti-types provide insight into patterns across communities that may be ascribed to varying configurations of community contexts, resources, and strategies implemented.
