AdoQuest Cohort Study

General objectives: 1. To determine the extent of co-occurrence of modifiable lifestyle behaviors among youth along the life course. The behaviors of interest include cigarette use, cannabis use, heavy alcohol use, high junk food consumption, low healthy food consumption, physical inactivity, sedentary behaviour. 2. To examine the natural course of co-occurrence of youths’ modifiable lifestyle behaviors. 3. To identify sub-groups of youth based on developmental trajectories of the co-occurrence of their modifiable lifestyle behaviors. 4. To evaluate which contextual layers of the environment, including family, peers, school, neighborhood, and society, shape the evolution, maintenance, and escalation of youths’ modifiable lifestyle behaviors, and when during the life course they exert their maximal influence. 5. To examine possible determinants of the co-occurrence of youths’ modifiable lifestyle behaviours, including sociodemographic factors, psychosocial factors, and pubertal stage.

Timeline

Population

AdoQuest study population

The sample was drawn from among all French-language schools with more than 90 grade 5 students, located in the greater Montreal area. To assure equal representation of students by socioeconomic status (SES), all schools in the target territory were stratified by a continuous SES indicator and 9-10 schools were randomly selected from within each of the upper (n=10), middle (n=10) and lower school (n=9) SES tertile. Participants were recruited from all grade 5 classes in each of the 29 participating schools.
