1 VERITAS dataset description

Unlike the Eligibility or Health questionnaires, which can mostly be encoded as a flat table, the VERITAS questionnaire implicitly records a series of entities and their relationships:

  • Places: list of geocoded locations visited by participants, along with the following characteristics: category, name, visit frequency, transportation mode
  • Social contacts: people and/or groups frequented by participants
  • Relationships: between social contacts (who knows who / who belongs to which group) as well as between locations and social contacts (places visited along with whom)

The diagram below illustrates the various entities collected throught the VERITAS questionnaire:

2 Basic descriptive statistics

2.1 Section 1: Residence and Neighbourhood

2.1.1 Now, let’s start with your home. What is your address?

home_location <- locations[locations$location_category == 1, ]

## version ggmap
mtl_aoi <- st_bbox(home_location)
names(mtl_aoi) <- c("left", "bottom", "right", "top")
mtl_aoi[["left"]] <- mtl_aoi[["left"]] - .05
mtl_aoi[["right"]] <- mtl_aoi[["right"]] + .05
mtl_aoi[["top"]] <- mtl_aoi[["top"]] + .025
mtl_aoi[["bottom"]] <- mtl_aoi[["bottom"]] - .025

bm <- get_stadiamap(mtl_aoi, zoom = 11, maptype = "stamen_toner_lite") %>%
  ggmap(extent = "device")
bm + geom_sf(data = st_jitter(home_location, .008), inherit.aes = FALSE, color = "blue", size = 1.8, alpha = .3) # see https://github.com/r-spatial/sf/issues/336

NB: Home locations have been randomly shifted from their original position to protect privacy.

# Number of participants by municipalites
home_by_municipalites <- st_join(home_location, municipalities["NAME"]) %>%

NB all addresses since 2006, including the current one.

# Min, max, median & mean N of addresses by participant since 2006

2.6 Section 6: Leisure activities

The following questions are used to generate the locations grouped into this section:

  1. Do you participate in any (individual or group) sports or leisure-time physical activities at least once per month?
  2. Do you visit a park at least once per month?
  3. Do you participate in or attend as a spectator a cultural or non-sport leisure activity at least once per month? For example: singing or drawing lessons, book or poker club, concert or play.
  4. Do you volunteer at least once per month?
  5. Do you engage in any religious or spiritual activities at least once per month?
  6. Do you go to a restaurant, café, bar or other food and drink establishment at least once per month?
  7. Do you get take-out food at least once per month?
  8. Do you regularly go for walks?
