Résumé

Des écrits portant sur les programmes performants en matière de prévention/promoition ont permis d'identifier un certain nombre de conditions de réussite. Toutefois, les programmes recensés visent surtout des populations cibles (parents adolescents, parents ou adultes qui vivent des stress); une minorité vise des milieux de vie. De plus, l'essentiel du corpus de connaissances s'articule autour de prograes bien structurés et bénéficiant de devis d'évaluation scientifique. Enfin nous ne connaissons è peu près pas les conditions de réussite des actions préventives et promotionnelles provenant des milieux comunautaires de type plus alternatif qui agissent souvent de manière plus holistique et dans certains cas sur les déterminiants plus strcuturels è l'origine des problèmes des jeuns et des familles. Cette recherche vise è documenter les conditions de réussite tel que percues par une variété d'acteurs ocuvrant dans le sectuer de prêvention/promotion en enfance-jeunesse-famille au Québec. La perception des conditions de réussite auprès de 307 intervenants ou promoteurs de projets des secteur institutionnel et communautaire est examinée. Les résultats mettent en évidence deux types de facterus; ceux reliés è la qualité des actions (le niveau de justification) et ceux reliés au contexte d'implantation (le nivequ de faisablilité).

Abstract

Meta-evaluations on successful programs permitted us to identity some factors that positively influence outcomes in the field of prevention/promotion. Nevertheless, the vast majority of these programs target specific populations like adolescent parents or parents and adults experiencing high levels of stress. A minority of the programs studied target the social environment. Most of these are well structured and generally grounded in rigorous evaluation. We know only a few things about the successful conditions of preventive interventions in the more informal context of daily practices that rarely benefit from systematic evaluation research. We also know little about the positive characteristics of community-led programs and of more holistic, alternative actions focusing on the structural determinants and life conditions which are at the root of problems among families and youth. This research aims to document successful conditions perceived by those working in institutional and community contexts to prevent social problems among children, youth, and families and to promote their well being. One study was conducted with 307 respondents working in different kinds of promotion/prevention programs. Some of these projects worked directly with children, youth, and families and some focused on the amelioration of life conditions. Results emphasize two kinds of factors: those related to the quality of interventions (justification) and those associated with the context of implementation (feasibility).
