Background/Objectives: The present study aimed to identify information from health research that used mixed-method data collection, considering the approach of face-to-face interviews and telephone interviews (MMFT), with a more specific focus on identifying its themes, objectives, designs, populations involved and implementation process. Methods: A scoping review was developed, with systematic searches applied in March 2024, in five databases (Pubmed; Scielo; Scopus and Web of Science), Google Scholar and reference lists. The inclusion criteria were based on the strategy "Participants" (observational epidemiological studies, with no restrictions as to where they were carried out, sampling technique or sample profile); "Concept” (use of MMFT in data collection) and “Context” (studies carried out in the health area, with no restrictions on the theme/subject). The review process was conducted by three researchers who worked independently. Results: from the initial 1,515 potential references, the synthesis of this review was composed of data from seven original studies, highlighting: cross-sectional design, involvement of adults and/or elderly people without specific health conditions, variability between data collection strategies and complementary use of online approaches. Conclusions: based on the evidence generated, it is recommended that future studies assess aspects of the MMFT approach in terms of response rate, cost reduction and increasing the speed with which health surveys are carried out.

Leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) is associated with access and use of public open spaces. The “President João Goulart Elevated Avenue” and current denominated “Minhocão” is a facility for leisure activities that are open for people during the night/weekends. The aim of this study was to examine if the prevalence of LTPA among individuals living in the surroundings of Minhocão is different according to proximity to, and use of, the facility. We conducted a cross-sectional study with cluster sampling with people aged ≥18 years who lived in households until 500m and between 501m to 1500m of Minhocão. The survey was conducted between December/2017 until March/2019 with an electronic questionnaire self-responded. We conducted bivariate analysis and Poisson regression to examine possible differences in LTPA according to the proximity of residences and use of Minhocão. The analysis used post-stratification weights. A total of 12,030 telephone numbers of people were drawn (≤500m = 6,942; and >500m to ≤1500m = 5,088). The final sample analyzed were of 235 residents who returned the questionnaires. There was a higher prevalence of individuals engaging in at least 150 minutes per week of LTPA among users than non-users (Prevalence Ratio=2.23, IC95%1.72-2.90). People who used the park had higher prevalence of all types of LTPA than non-users. The results can serve to inform government decision-making on the future of Minhocão.
