Opzet van de GLOBE studie
De Gezondheid en Levens Omstandigheden van de Bevolking van Eindhoven en omstreken (GLOBE) studie is een longitudinale studie die is begonnen in 1991. Deze studie is opgezet om te onderzoeken welke invloed levensomstandigheden hebben op de gezondheid van mensen. Een belangrijk onderdeel hiervan is bijvoorbeeld het onderzoeken van mechanismen en factoren die sociaaleconomische gezondheidsverschillen kunnen verklaren. In de GLOBE studie wordt informatie gevraagd over werk-, woon- en leefomstandigheden en allerlei gezondheidskenmerken. Vanaf 2004 is ook meer nadruk gelegd op het identificeren van fysieke, sociale en culturele omgevingsfactoren die een rol spelen in de gezondheid van de inwoners van deze buurten.
In 1991 vond het baselineonderzoek plaats bij 18.973 respondenten in de stad Eindhoven en omliggende steden. Twee deelsteekproeven van respondenten uit de baseline werden uitgenodigd om deel te nemen aan aanvullende diepte-interviews. De eerste deelsteekproef was een willekeurige steekproef. De tweede deelsteekproef omvatte een oververtegenwoordiging van chronisch zieke personen, gebaseerd op zelfgerapporteerde informatie over chronische ziekten zoals coronaire hartziekten, diabetes mellitus, chronische obstructieve longziekte (COPD) of rugklachten. In 1991, 1997, 2004, 2011 en 2014 zijn beide deelsteekproeven geïnterviewd en/of onderzocht. In 2004, 2014 en 2021 zijn aanvullende steekproeven gedaan om de onderzoekspopulatie te versterken. In 1993 en 1995 werd de eerste (willekeurige) deelsteekproef geïnterviewd. In 1992, 1993, 1994 en 1995 werd de tweede (chronisch zieke) deelsteekproef geïnterviewd.
Daarnaast werden diepte-interviews gehouden in 2005 onder de subgroep van de 2004 onderzoekspopulatie, in 2012 onder de subgroep van de 2011 onderzoekspopulatie en in 2016 onder de subgroep van de 2014 onderzoekspopulatie.
De GLOBE studie wordt uitgevoerd door de afdeling Maatschappelijke Gezondheidszorg van het Erasmus MC in nauwe samenwerking met de GGD Brabant-Zuidoost. Over de lange periode van onderzoek werd de studie gefinancierd door de Nederlandse Organisatie voor Gezondheidsonderzoek en Ontwikkeling (ZonMW), Nederlandse ministerie van Volksgezondheid, Welzijn en Sport, de Ziekenfondsraad, de Nederlandse Organisatie voor Onderzoek en de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam.
Onderzoekers zijn van harte uitgenodigd om contact op te nemen met het GLOBE team om onderzoek op basis van de gegevens voor te stellen.
