The transition period from adolescence to early adulthood is critical for developing new nutritional behaviors, making higher education students an important target group for public health nutrition interventions. Given the complexity of nutrition-related behaviors and their various determinants, involving the student population (the future beneficiaries of interventions) and the partners engaged in their implementation when designing campus nutrition interventions is essential. Citizens' assemblies are deliberative processes which are more and more frequently organized to co-create solutions to complex problems. This study aims 1) to design and implement a student citizens' assembly using participatory research methods, 2) to describe its process and evaluate its transferability, 3) to evaluate changes in dietary habits, knowledge and citizen practices among students participating in this assembly.
This study will take place at a French university (University Sorbonne Paris Nord, USPN) located in socio-economically disadvantaged suburbs of Paris. The student citizens' assembly will gather a mini-public of 30 students enrolled at the time of the study and a co-creation team of academic and non-academic partners involved in student life, nutrition, physical activity, or public policies. The aim of the assembly is to co-create a set of concrete proposals that would enhance USPN students' access to sustainable diets and physical activity. The protocol is based on a continuous process evaluation and a pre-post design among the mini-public. A mixed-method framework combining quantitative and qualitative approaches will be developed. This study will make use of (i) field observations of the intervention process and transferability, (ii) data collected by questionnaires on pre- and post- dietary habits, knowledge and citizen practices of the mini-public, and (iii) pre-post interviews with a subsample of the same mini-public.
Relying on participatory research methods, this study will provide new insights into involving higher education students and diverse partners in co-creating campus nutrition interventions. Through the collaborative work of researchers, higher education students, university representatives, public institutions, and local and community actors, this study will provide evidence-based guidance for designing innovative and contextually-relevant nutrition interventions in the higher education setting.

从青少年到成年早期的过渡时期对于养成新的营养行为至关重要，因此高等教育学生成为公共卫生营养干预的重要目标群体。鉴于与营养相关的行为及其各种决定因素的复杂性，在设计校园营养干预措施时，让学生群体（干预措施的未来受益者）和参与实施的合作伙伴参与其中非常重要。公民大会是一种审议程序，越来越多地被用来共同制定复杂问题的解决方案。本研究旨在 1）使用参与式研究方法设计和实施学生公民大会，2）描述其过程并评估其可转移性，3）评估参与该大会的学生饮食习惯、知识和公民实践的变化。
本研究将在法国巴黎北部索邦大学（USPN）进行，该大学位于巴黎经济欠发达的郊区。学生公民大会将召集 30 名当时在校的迷你公众和一个由学术和非学术合作伙伴组成的共同创造团队，这些合作伙伴参与学生生活、营养、体育活动或公共政策。大会的目的是共同制定一系列具体建议，以增加 USPN 学生获得可持续饮食和体育活动的机会。该方案基于迷你公众的持续过程评估和前后设计。将制定一个结合定量和定性方法的混合方法框架。本研究将利用（i）对干预过程和可转移性的实地观察，（ii）迷你公众在饮食习惯、知识和公民实践方面的预-后问卷调查数据，以及（iii）同一迷你公众的一个子样本的预-后访谈。
本研究将依靠参与式研究方法，为高等教育学生和不同合作伙伴共同参与创建校园营养干预措施提供新的见解。通过研究人员、高等教育学生、大学代表、公共机构以及地方和社区行为者的协作工作，本研究将为设计高等教育环境中具有创新性和与背景相关的营养干预措施提供基于证据的指导。
