Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The UrbASanté study is a quasi-experimental research that aimed at assessing the impact of urban transformations (a natural experiment) in the health related behaviors, environmental exposure and perceived- health.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The UrbASAnté study is an interdisciplinary project evaluating the relationships between urban transformations (urban regeneration programs) and health related behaviors, environmental exposure (air pollution, noise) and health (perceived) in a deprived neighborhood in Paris (France).

UrbASanté consists of quasi-experimental research (before/after protocol design) and includes an "exposed" group of inhabitants living in a neighborhood with urban transformation (intervention) and an "unexposed group" comprising inhabitants from neighborhood not undergoing urban changes (control).

Participants will be surveyed at enrollment and 24 months later.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental group

Volunteers living in a deprived neighborhood with urban transformations in Paris (France)

Questionnaire

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Each participant completes a questionnaire (online or paper version) about socio-demographic characteristics, health outcomes (general health, respiratory health, and weight status), physical activity and sedentary behaviors, perception of neighborhood characteristics, air quality, and noise exposure.

Food diary supply

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sample of participant was issued with a food supply diary to record details of their household food supply and related trips over 1-mo period. Household food supply included food purchases, food gift/donation, and potential crops. For each food purchase, participants provided details of date, place of purchase and foods purchased (name, quantity and expense incurred). When till receipts were available in grocery stores or supermarkets, participants were asked to collect them in an envelope placed at the end of the food supply diary.

Interviews (semi-structured)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sample of participants was interviewed about their food provisioning practice and living conditions.

air and noise

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Sample of participant were instructed to wear air and noise sensors to record their daily environmental exposure for 7 consecutive days, except for sleeping, bathing and performing activities in the water. Particulate matter concentrations, the temperature, and the relative humidity were measured - the nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) concentrations were determined with data loggers that integrate reliable electrochemical gas sensors. Noise levels was measured using noise dosimeters. Sensors were accompanied by an activity logbook in which participants were required to daily record time when awake and sleeping, and, if any, time and duration of workout or device removal

Control group

Volunteers living in a deprived neighborhood without urban transformations in Paris (France).

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Each participant completes a questionnaire (online or paper version) about socio-demographic characteristics, health outcomes (general health, respiratory health, and weight status), physical activity and sedentary behaviors, perception of neighborhood characteristics, air quality, and noise exposure.
