These tools are free for researchers and organisations outside of BlueHealth to use, but in true academic fashion, each has a fairly unfriendly initialism. So below I’ve provided a brief explanation of the tools and how they might best be applied:
- BlueHealth Behavioural Assessment Tool (BBAT)
- BlueHealth Community Level Survey (BCLS)
- BlueHealth Environmental Assessment Tool (BEAT)
- The BlueHealth Decision Support Tool (DST) https://www.bluehealth2020-dst.eu
Adaptation to climate change
Oceans, seas and watersAddressing target audiences and expressing needs
- We are sharing our knowledge
- To raise awareness and possibly influence policy
BlueHealth took part in several small-scale construction projects across Europe. These ‘urban acupuncture’ initiatives are designed to enhance the way blue spaces are used, and we’re particularly interested in how they might affect the health and wellbeing of local populations.
In order to measure these changes, we’ve developed a series of tools to capture information about the environmental quality of a site, how people use it (or barriers they might face in using it), and their self-reported wellbeing.
We are looking for future applications of these tools by planners and communities and collaborations
- Others/ No specific audience
- Public or private funding institutions
- EU and Member State Policy-makers
R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
these tools have been applied in case studies throughout Europe https://bluehealth2020.eu/resources/blueprofiles/
