“…Engaging residents in deprived neighbourhoods in HPIs is difficult due to a variety of factors, such as language barriers, socio-economic vulnerability, resistance towards ‘being told what to do’ and mistrust towards authorities.

The questionnaire employed validated instruments and items that have previously been applied in comparable study populations [27,28]. The baseline information was collected between September 2018 and January 2019 prior to the urban regeneration program [27].…”

“…The questionnaire employed validated instruments and items that have previously been applied in comparable study populations [27,28]. The baseline information was collected between September 2018 and January 2019 prior to the urban regeneration program [27]. The questionnaire was translated from Danish to the seven most prominent language groups among the residents (Arabic, English, Pashto, Polish, Turkish, Urdu and Vietnamese) by two independent translators who then agreed on the final version [27].…”
