About this study
Official title: The UrbASanté Study
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.
Read the 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
QuestionnaireBehavioural
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 supplyBehavioural
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)Behavioural
Sample of participants was interviewed about their food provisioning practice and living conditions.
air and noiseBehavioural
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
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental group | Volunteers living in a deprived neighborhood with urban transformations in Paris (France) Receives: Behavioral: Questionnaire; Behavioral: Food diary supply; Behavioral: Interviews (semi-structured); Behavioral: air and noise | |
| Control group | Volunteers living in a deprived neighborhood without urban transformations in Paris (France). Receives: Behavioral: Questionnaire; Behavioral: Food diary supply; Behavioral: Interviews (semi-structured); Behavioral: air and noise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in the mean adequacy ratio (MAR)
Measure of individuals nutrient adequacy based on reported food intakes
Measured: at baseline and 24 month later
Change in the mean excess ratio (MER)
Measure of excessive nutrient consumption, based on reported food intakes
Measured: at baseline and 24 month later
Change in physical activity behaviors
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.
Measured: at baseline and 24 month later
Change in sedentary behaviors
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.
Measured: at baseline and 24 month later
Change in perceived health
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.
Measured: at baseline and 24 month later
Secondary outcomes (6)
Age (in year) of each member of the household
Participants were asked to report the age of each member of the household.
Measured: at baseline
Gender of adult members of the household
Participants were asked to report the gender of each adult of the household
Measured: at baseline
Household income
Participants indicated their net income bracket of the household (by month)

Participants were asked to report the highest education level achieved by each adult of the household (no degree, primary school, secondary school degree, bachelor degree, tertiary degree).
Measured: at baseline
Living duration (in month/year) in the residential neighborhood
Participants were asked to indicate how long they had lived in the study area
Measured: at baseline
Marital status
Participants were asked to report their marital status
Measured: at baseline
