Living Labs and other participatory approaches applied to research on multiple environnemental exposures and chronic risks

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Participatory research in environmental health is still rare France. The objectives of research, general, can be very diverse (e.g.: identifying situations associated with risks estimating exposures and effects, testing the effectiveness preventive actions) related methods are as well. Opportunities for greater implication civil society challenges differ at each step activities. These aspects need to better known shared collectively. LILAS project aimed 1) co-construct, among institutional researchers, academics representatives, a mutual understanding main problematics health, their stakes different actors, but also requirements, strengths limitations these 2) identify expected benefits points vigilance stronger degrees participation part such projects. METHODS: gathered representatives interested multiple (chemical, radiological). Several meetings allowed collectively types study (including epidemiological studies) reflect about added value, limitations, methodological principles introduction growing studies. An analysis matrix was co-created filled by participants. RESULTS:For studies (studies assessment exposures, identification determinants, interventions on development sensors, quantitative risk assessment, studies, experimental ecosystems…), lists several categories stakeholders, fundamental practical constraints, advantages use participatory approaches (such living lab one) or more “classical” approaches. CONCLUSIONS:LILAS has allowed, through cross-acculturation process, develop consolidated grounds co-construction future projects exposures. KEYWORDS: Key-words: Multiple Living Lab, co-creation,
