摘要

Background: Spatial attributes of built and natural environments are important predictors in spatial analyses of various outcomes, such as physical activity behavior or health effects from air pollution. Until recently, spatial data collection through on-site audits or interviews has been tedious and costly. New mobile technology offers opportunities for epidemiologic research. Aims: As part of the project "Community on the move [Gemeinde bewegt]" - a pilot project on physical activity and structural factors - a tool for participatory environmental audits by pedestrians and cyclists was developed. Methods: Android-based open-source software (opendatakit.org and formhub.org, ODK/FH) for mobile data collection was used to create a form which records geo-location, requests information on issue of interest, infrastructure, problem at hand and suggested solutions, and captures photos. Forms are easily created in Excel, then on formhub.org converted to XML suited for mobile devices. Data is collected with tablets and uploaded via wireless connection to formhub.org, from where it can be exported for analysis. Online data entry is possible as well. GPS accuracy was evaluated in a separate effort comparing three different tablet types. Community audits with stakeholders were conducted in two and are planned in eight more communities. Assessment of bicycle accident locations will be used in a case-crossover safety study. Results: ODK/FH allows for simple creation and changes of forms or questionnaires for mobile devices without requiring programming skills. GPS accuracy of tested tablets ranges from under 10m up to 30m, sufficient to uniquely identify typical locations of interest in combination with attribute data. Development of forms, handling of the tool, users and data are substantially less time consuming than traditional paper-based approaches. Conclusions: ODK/FH provides a free, efficient and flexible option for on-site collection of environmental attribute and subject data of interest in epidemiologic research with or without spatial components.
