To describe fertility, involuntary sterility and the use of medically assisted procreation treatment. To determine the influence of environmental factors (including air pollutants) on couples' fertility. To establish a national surveillance system in the field of reproduction and develop new means of studying the relationship between environment and reproduction. To characterise the use of medically assisted procreation (timeline, couples' treatment path). To identify menstrual cycle characteristics and the environmental influence on these characteristics.

To comprehensively characterise and integrate cellular signals and associate them with patient history and treatments. Biological events can be genome alterations, mutations, chromosomal rearrangements, gene and miRNA expressions, methylation patterns, exon variations, etc.. As such, CIT is developing an integrated view of how cancer cells develop and function. This work forms the basis of personalised medicine that is adapted to the genomic characteristics of each tumour. CIT may then identify molecular signatures of patients who are more likely to respond well to a treatment, or whose cancer is deemed more aggressive, therefore helping MDs to choose the best treatment and care.

Main objectives:
- To improve knowledge on health status, access to healthcare and rights for prostitutes.
- To identify constraints that impede actual access to rights and healthcare.
- To provide medical treatment to prostitutes within a free and anonymous setting: medical consultation, STI screening (including HIV and hepatitis B), screening for hepatitis C, treatment for acute STIs, provision of vaccinations (particularly against hepatitis B).
- To reveal the health status of prostitutes against perceived health data.
- To know the prevalence of STIs (HIV, HBV, syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis) and hepatitis C within the study sample.
Secondary objectives:
- To improve the integration of health issues in social facilities and to train social workers regarding these issues when working with prostitutes.
- To increase medical staff's awareness of specific traits regarding this population.
- To develop local networks between key social and social medicine or medical players and to promote partnerships.

Surveillance of infectious diseases through regular automated transfer of biological results from specialist biology laboratories to InVS.

To improve the surveillance of certain infectious diseases already monitored by another system:
o To supplement surveillance data from other sources and to estimate completeness (particularly MDO).

• To implement a sustainable monitoring system for unmonitored diseases as well as:
o Monitoring spatial and temporal trends of targeted pathogens;
o Providing individual data;
o Contributing to epidemic investigations;
o Identifying active movement areas.
