Baromètre Santé Adulte 2021-2022

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
In 2021-2022, Agence Sanitaire et Sociale Nouvelle Calédonie (ASSNC) is undertaking the Baromètre Santé Adulte for the third time. This study is carried out this year in collaboration with WHO and Institut Pasteur de Nouvelle Calédonie (IPNC). The main objective of this investigation is to describe the current levels of chronic disease risk factors in the adult population of New Caledonia aged from 18 to 64 years old. This study will also help to estimate prevalence of certain diseases (diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, renal failure), seroprevalence of arboviruses (dengue fever, Zika, chikungunya and Ross River) malaria as well as the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2. Repeated regularly, these surveys allow the ASS-NC to capitalize on population indicators, to compare them according to socio-demographic characteristics, to identify groups at risk, to provide changes in health behaviors and to strengthen analytical capacities in order to adapt the guidelines for public policies and prevention programs.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The Barometre Santé Adulte is an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study whose data collection will take place in New Caledonia. For this study the sampling is based on the 2019 population census, according to a 3-stage stratified sample design. In total, the main sample will consist of approximately 5,500 people (first phase) and the sub-sample will consist of 1,800 people (second phase). The participation rate is estimated at 60%. Data collection will take place from February to May at the people's place drawn according to two steps: Firstly, investigators will carry out a questionnaire with the people who gave their informed consent as well as taking physical measurements: height, weight, abdominal circumference and blood pressure. In addition to the socio-demographic characteristics of the respondents, the questionnaire deals with several health topics: consumption of psychoactive substances, diet, physical activity, health status and access to care, screening, oral health, driving motor vehicle risk, sexual health, mental health, etc. The time taken to complete the questionnaire is estimated at one hour. Secondly, and for a sub-sample of 1,800 people, nurses will come back to the people's places who volunteer to take a venous blood test: blood sugar, total cholesterol, HbA1c, serum creatinine, CBC and serology of diseases transmitted by mosquitoes (dengue, chikungunya, Zika and Ross River, malaria). All the data collected will be entered on a tablet in the eSTEPS application. The analysis of data (R Studio software) and the drafting of the report will be carried out by ASSNC staff. The first results are expected for the second half of 2022.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To know the prevalence of the main risk factors chronic diseases (obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and kidney failure) in the adult population of New Caledonia aged 18 to 64 using the WHO STEPS survey method. | In order to measure the prevalence of the main risk factors chronic diseases, WHO STEPS method will be used. This questionnaire is a 3 steps method, the first steps is a questionnaire mainly based on medical history and health behaviors. The second steps is associated with taking physical measurements such as weight, height, blood pressure, waist size. The last steps concerned only the experimental group the sub-sample for which some blood sample will be drawn out for the detection of elevated levels of blood glucose, HbA1c, total cholesterol and serum creatinine. | Within a year after recruiting the participant | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Health behaviors of the target population using the first step of the WHO STEPS survey method. | To correlate health data and everyday behaviors of the target population in order to show a trend in causal effect, in order to have specific health indicators up to date | Within a year after recruiting the participant | 
| To calculate the cardiovascular risk of the New Caledonian population using the SCORE projet | To calculate the cardiovascular risk based on systolic blood pressure, sex, smoking status and cholesterol level. | Within a year after recruiting the participant | 
| Seroprevalence of infectious diseases | To Determine the seroprevalence of dengue, Zika, chikungunya and Ross River arboviruses in New Caledonia, the seroprevalence against the malaria agent as well as the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2. | Within a year after recruiting the participant |
