Efforts to modify children's diets, screen time, physical activity, and sleep without taking into account their living environment have had limited success in reducing their health problems. Indeed, the environment influences the development of these behaviors and their maintenance as habits. Taking a comprehensive perspective, this project aims to study how the urban environment (i.e., green spaces, traffic, built environment, and pollution) contributes to shaping suboptimal combinations of health-related behaviors in EDEN children, as well as in children from two other European cohorts (INMA - Spain; BiB - United Kingdom). The focus is on preschool-aged children, a key window for prevention and the adoption of health-promoting behaviors.
Data Protection:
The data processing necessary for the implementation of the project is under the responsibility of Inserm, the research promoter and data controller (Article 6 of the GDPR). The operational data controller is Alexandra DESCARPENTRIE.
Please note that the processing of your data is part of a public interest mission entrusted to Inserm, which justifies the processing of your personal health data for scientific research purposes.
The objective of this project is to study, using data from different mother-child cohorts (INMA, Spain; EDEN, France, and BiB, United Kingdom), the links between early-life urban environment variables and a combination of suboptimal behaviors identified at preschool age (3-4 years). The data used in this project (civil status, professional life, economic and financial information, personal life, biometric data, environment) will be kept in an active database for one year (until the end of February 2024).
Your participation is optional, and you have:
• the right to access information about you to verify its accuracy and, if necessary, to correct, complete, or update it.
• the right to object to the transmission of your data. Exercising this right will result in the cessation of your participation in the study.
• the right to limit the processing of data: no operation can be temporarily performed on them so that the data controller (operational) can carry out verifications.
• the right to withdraw your consent to participate in the study at any time without having to justify yourself.
If you wish to exercise these rights and obtain information about yourself, you can contact the team by email at etude.eden@inserm.fr or by postal mail (EAROH Team, René Leriche Building - 1st floor; 16 avenue Paul Vaillant-Couturier - 94807 Villejuif Cedex).
