Le Centre de Recherche et de Prevention du Suicide de Quebec: Historique, Philosophie, Fonctionnement et Evaluation D'un Programme en Sante Mentale Communautaire

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1982

Résumé

Cette étude a pour but de décrire l'implantation et l'évaluation d'un programme préventif en santé mentale concernant le problème du suicide dans la région de Québec-Métropolitain. Quatre aspects particuliers du programme y sont envisagés: l'historique de l'implantation du programme, sa philosophie, son fonctionnement pratique et son évaluation après trois années de fonctionnement. Dans cette dernière partie, l'auteur décrit les étapes essentielles selon lui à l'évaluation continue d'un programme en prévention du suicide et analyse les résultats obtenus dans une recherche épidémiologique portant sur la comparaison, pour une période donnée, entre la population utilisant le programme et la population qui se suicide effectivement dans la région du Québec-Métropolitain. L'intégration de la recherche évaluative à l'action et à l'intervention, en processus de rétroaction continue, y est considérée comme un élément primordial dans la planification efficace de stratégies préventives face à un problème psycho-social comme le suicide.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to describe the implementation and the evaluation of a Suicide Prevention Program in the Quebec Metropolitan area. Four major aspects are described in this study: firstly, the historical aspect of the implementation; secondly the rationals supporting its basis; thirdly, its practical functioning; fourthly, the evaluation, after three years of operation. In the later, the author describes what should be the essential stages of the evaluation of a suicide prevention program. Subsequently he analysed the results obtained in an epidemiological research comparing a suicidal population that kills itself and a suicidal population that uses the suicide prevention services in the target area. For the author, an essential attribute to an efficient suicide prevention program is that the evaluative research should be integrated to the action and intervention, acting as a continuous retroactive process.
