| Database objective | |
| Main objective | The study set itself the objective of investigating and documenting the way in which vulnerable populations coped with the lockdown period for controlling the Covid-19 crisis, in terms of the following three aspects: 1) The effects of reducing the public space, access to resources and available services and health care, limiting the ability of vulnerable populations to look after themselves, particularly in terms of health. 2) The way in which public policies for the Covid-19 epidemic were applied - or not - in practical situations facing vulnerable populations. 3) The ability of the stakeholders - including MSF - to offer a solution to health problems arising among these populations, both in terms of the epidemic, and more general health needs. |
| Inclusion criteria | The study population concerned vulnerable individuals aged over 15 years, randomly and proportionally selected at each study site. The study sites were selected out of convenience, to fulfil the following criteria: sites still open and at which the MSF Covid Poverty project intervened at least once to provide medical and paramedical care, in the Paris and Seine Saint Denis administrative departments (main geographical zone of the MSF project), accepting populations suffering from economic and/or administrative instability, representing diverse forms of housing and accommodations, where the safety conditions at the time of the survey permitted, and after approval by the head of the association or housing facility. |
