Selecting Indicators to Monitor and Assess Environmental Health in a Portuguese Urban Setting: A Participatory Approach

Abstract: Environmental health (EH) is influenced by complex interactions between health and the built and natural environments, there being little research on its specificities in urban settings. The use of suitable indicators to monitor and assess EH is fundamental in informing evidence-based interventions at the local level. A participatory approach to selecting indicators to inform the monitoring and assessment of EH in Lisbon is herein considered. Evidence derived from a systematic review of literature and data fro… Show more

“…In addition, to take it one step further, real-time Delphi schemes can be applied to make the process more interactive, engaging, and rapid [87,88]. Another option would be to carry out internetbased Delphi, taking advantage of the technological platforms in enhancing a classic Delphi research process through facilitating discussion among participants separated by place and time [53,89]. In addition, it is worthwhile to explore the potential usefulness of combining Delphi with other techniques, using Delphi as a means of eliciting group-based estimates for integration with other futures methodologies (e.g., cross-impact analysis [90], scenario studies [91]) as well as, for instance, for establishing exogenous variables and parameters for statistical or econometric models [92,93].…”

“…Aiming to identify the requirements for a dashboard to monitor EH in urban settings, taking Lisbon as a case study, this work succeeds two previous studies: in a first study the evidence on which indicators are relevant for analyzing EH in urban settings was gathered through a systematic review of literature described in detail in Salgado et al (34); and in a second study a participatory approach was implemented with Portuguese EH stakeholders and experts to select a comprehensive set of built and natural environment indicators suitable to assess and monitor EH in the Lisbon urban context (5). This study aims to further advance in the involvement of EH stakeholders and experts in the definition of requirements for a dashboard to support EH monitoring and decision-making in the Lisbon urban context.…”

“…Drawing on the evidence and data collected, a wide number of Portuguese EH experts were involved in selecting and validating built and natural environment indicators relevant to monitor EH in Lisbon [details in (5)]. A mixed-methodology was implemented combining a set of 12 semi-structured interviews and a two-round Web-Delphi process, to validate a list of 17 relevant indicators deemed as relevant for monitoring monitor EH in the Lisbon urban setting (Figure 2).…”
