Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine if citizen science contributes to gaining insight into community health and to the health of the citizen scientists themselves. Thus, thirteen citizens in four deprived neighbourhoods were trained as citizen scientists to conduct exploration in their own communities. Results showed that the citizen scientists linked forty (health affiliated) themes in their communities. The citizen scientists reported an increase in their overall toneperceived health which, still, wasn't significantly demonstrated in the pre questionnaire and post questionnaire.
