Reflecting on deepening participation in recruitment and evaluation in citizen science - Lessons from the WeCount project.

This paper focuses on an urban mobility citizen science project in which citizens participated in several ways, from technical development to engagement and evaluation. Drawing on asset-based community development, the WeCount project aimed to empower citizens to take a leading role in the production of data, evidence, and knowledge around mobility in their neighbourhoods. WeCount engaged with thousands of citizens in five European case studies, who were involved in co-designing the data platform, collecting/analysing the data, and lobbying for change. In WeCount, each participant mounted a low-cost, automated, road traffic counting sensor (a Telraam) to a window in their house that faced a road. The Telraam sensor counts the number and speed of cars, large vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians. Given its efforts to distribute resources and share knowledge for bottom-up sustainable development, WeCount is representative of the shift towards greater participation and self-reflection in the design, delivery, and evaluation of citizen science. Future iterations of similar citizen science projects, as suggested by citizens, would benefit from more training in how to be an activist, more opportunities to get involved in each stage of the project and more training on how to understand the data to ensure the future of urban transport and mobility puts citizens at the centre of decisionmaking.

Multisectoral partnerships to tackle complex health issues at the community level: lessons from a Healthy Communities Approach in rural Alberta, Canada

SettingHealth inequities exist in rural communities across Canada, as rural residents are more likely than their urban counterparts to experience injuries, chronic conditions, obesity, and shorter life expectancy. Cooperative and coordinated action across sectors is required to both understand and address these complex public health issues.InterventionThe Alberta Healthy Communities Approach (AHCA) is based on the values and core building blocks of the Healthy Communities Approach, a framework centred on building community capacity to support community-led actions on the determinants of health. Adaptations within the AHCA focused on implementation mechanisms with a 5-step process and supporting implementation and assessment tools for multisectoral team building. Local measurement of change was enhanced and focused on community capacity and multisectoral action stages. Between 2016 and 2019, the AHCA was piloted with 15 rural communities across Alberta with population sizes ranging from 403 to 15,051 people.OutcomesWhile communities piloting the AHCA ranged in the level of diversity of their coalition membership and partnerships, members’ reflections demonstrate that intentional engagement with diverse citizens and sectors is pivotal to collaboratively identifying local assets and priorities and mobilizing cross-sectoral action that will sustainably improve supportive environments for cancer and chronic disease prevention.ImplicationsEngaging across sectors, building partnerships, and establishing a multisectoral team increase diversity and can catalyze community-led prioritization and actions for asset-based community development. An increase in diversity may lead to increased investment and sustainability at the community level.
