Efforts to modify diet, screen time, physical activity and sleep without considering the context of children’s lives have met with limited success in improving their health. This is because the environment influences the emergence of these behaviors and their maintenance as habits. By adopting a global perspective, this project proposes to study how the urban environment (i.e. green spaces, road traffic, the built environment and pollution) contributes to shaping sub-optimal combinations of health-related behaviors in BiB children, as well as those of children participating in two other European cohorts (EDEN – France; INMA – Spain). The focus is on pre-school age, a key window of opportunity for prevention and adoption of health-promoting behaviors.

Data protection
The data processing required to implement this project is placed under the responsibility of Inserm, the research promoter and personal data controller (Article 6, GDPR). The data processor is DESCARPENTRIE Alexandra.
The processing of your data responds to a mission of public interest vested in Inserm, which justifies the processing of your personal health data for scientific research purposes.
The aim of this project, based on data from different mother-child cohorts (INMA, Spain; EDEN, France, and BiB, United Kingdom), is to study the links between urban environment variables early in life and a combination of sub-optimal behaviors identified at pre-school age (3-4 years). The data used in this project (socio-economic, socio-demographic and financial information, lifestyle, biometric data, environment variables) 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 your personal data, in order to check its accuracy and, if necessary, to rectify, complete or update it.
– the right to object at any time to the transmission of your data. If you exercise this right, your participation in this study will immediately cease.
– the right to restrict data processing: no further operations may be carried out on your data for a period enabling the controller/processor to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
– the right to erasure: i.e. to withdraw consent on which the processing is based at any time, without having to justify your decision.
To exercise yours rights you should contact the organization processing your personal data by e-mail: etude.eden@inserm.fr or by post (Equipe EAROH Bâtiment René Leriche – 1er étage ; 16 avenue Paul Vaillant-Couturier – 94807 Villejuif cedex).
If you encounter any difficulty in exercising your rights, you can also contact our Data Protection Officer by e-mail (dpo@inserm.fr) or by post (Inserm Data Protection Officer, 101 rue de Tolbiac, 75 013 Paris).
In addition, if you think your data protection rights have been breached, you also have the option to lodge a complaint with the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés – CNIL – the French personal data protection authority, 3 Place de Fontenoy – TSA 80715, 75334 PARIS CEDEX 07 or online at https://www.cnil.fr.
