description: INHABIT INDICATORS - PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA COLLECTION <strong>INclusive Health And wellBeing In small and medium size ciTies (IN-HABIT) i</strong>s an EU Horizon 2020 project that aims to identify visionary and integrated solutions to promote inclusive health and wellbeing in 4 small and medium size cities. Cordoba (ES), Lucca (IT), Riga (LTV), Nitra (SK). In each of the four pilot cities, the project will investigate how the mobilisation of existing undervalued resources, such as culture and heritage, food, human-animal bonds and art and environment might contribute to boost health and wellbeing, with a focus on gender, diversity, equity and inclusion. The selected indicators include both qualitative and quantitative metrics: they represent the pool of indicators from which those that will be used from time to time for the different types of data collection will be selected. The proposed IHW Indicators have been grouped in 4 meta-categories, based on the following criteria: a. capacity to reveal and describe those elements of the social, institutional and economic context of the 4 pilot cities which may influence health and well-being and its equitable distributions among social groups (Context Indicators) b. capacity to detect the differences among social groups and individuals based on personal characteristics which may affect health and well-being and the impact of the solutions (GDEI indicators) c. capacity to detect the differences among social groups and individuals based on socio-demographic characteristics which may affect health and well-being and the impact of the solutions (socio-demographic indicators) d. capacity to measure and isolate the changes (both expected and unexpected) which are attributable, in whole or in part, to the visionary and integrated solutions which will be tested in the 4 cities (Key Impact Indicators) Additionally, the design of the indicators has been guided by the following methodological objectives: <br> comparability: selected indicators should be able to measure those aspects of health and well-being which are considered by the main European and International statistics and research framework (OECD, WHO, Eurostat, European Commission, UNDP/SDGs, other H2020-funded projects) in order to ensure comparability and to fill the gaps in terms of data availability for small and medium sized cities specificity: selected indicators are meaningful and relevant to the specific local context of the 4 pilot cities, since they refer to existing and measurable characteristics of the local population, project solutions, socio-economic and institutional context, also in light of the Covid-19 pandemic. For this reason many indicators have been borrowed from international standards and adapted to the project, while other new and complementary indicators have been co-designed. A description of the assessment framework of reference for each indicator is included in Annex 1, which also highlights the IN-HABIT new indicators. The empirical definition of the IHW sub-dimensions within the present assessment framework has been carrieD starting from the review about existing dimensions and indicators on socio-economic well-being, healthy lifestyles and mental health, focusing on the following existent assessment frameworks on heath and well-being established by international organizations <br> United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)<br> “Human development index” 1990/1993 “Sustainable Development Goals” 2015 World Health Organisation (WHO)<br> “Social Determinant of Health” <br> WHO-QOL “Measuring the quality of life”, <br> WHO Five Well-being Index (WHO-5) European Union Funding for Research and Innovation.
