The INTErventions, Research, and Action in Cities Team (INTERACT) is a national research collaboration of scientists, urban planners, and engaged citizens uncovering how the design of our cities is shaping the health and wellbeing of Canadians (www.teaminteract.ca). INTERACT is conducting longitudinal, mixed-methods natural experiment studies in four Canadian cities, with the aim of providing evidence on the impacts of urban transformations on people’s physical activity, social participation, and wellbeing, and inequalities in these outcomes.
As part of Plan Montreal durable 2016-2020, the City of Montreal, its boroughs, neighbouring cities and partnering organizations are implementing urban interventions, such as traffic calming measures, changes in transportation infrastructure, placemaking, and greening programs. Sampled from the Island of Montreal, and the following off-island cities: Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Lambert, and Laval, participants were recruited from June 6th to December 21th, 2018 (199 days). Participants were entered into a prize draw to incentivize their participation. Exclusion criteria across all sites were being younger than 18 years old, not being able to read or write English (or English or French in Montreal) well enough to answer an online survey and any intention to move out of the region in the next two years. Participants were recruited through a letter campaign, social media, media articles, partner networks, snowball sampling, and in-person events.
Across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard and Saint-Lambert, 1155 participants completed the Health Questionnaire.
