Brief Summary

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

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in the mean adequacy ratio (MAR)at baseline and 24 month later

Measure of individuals nutrient adequacy based on reported food intakes

Change in perceived healthat baseline and 24 month later

Assessed by the question "How is your health in general? Is it..." (very good/good/fair/bad/very bad) as a standard and cost-effective measure in health surveys.

Change in sedentary behaviorsat baseline and 24 month later

Assessed by questions from the Sedentary, Transportation, and Activity Questionnaire (STAQ) using indicator of past week sitting time spent during transport, leisure and work/study.

Change in physical activity behaviorsat baseline and 24 month later

Assessed by questions from the Sedentary, Transportation, and Activity Questionnaire (STAQ) with added questions about perception of active modes (walking and cycling). Using indicators of time spent in different transport modes (car or motorized vehicle, public transport, walking, cycling, other active transport) assessing the past-week frequency and duration of transport.

Change in the mean excess ratio (MER)at baseline and 24 month later

Measure of excessive nutrient consumption, based on reported food intakes
