Disseminating Evidence-Based Preventive Interventions to Promote Wellness and Mental Health in Children and Youth: Opportunities, Gaps, and Challenges

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
19 February 2024

Abstract

Post pandemic increases in mental illness and waitlists for mental health services highlight the urgent need to prevent and mitigate mental health problems in children and youth living in Canada. We describe current dissemination and implementation strategies of evidence-based preventive interventions (EBPIs) for children and youth in Canada that are designed to improve health and well-being. Based on written case studies from 18 Canadian researchers and stakeholders, we examined their approaches to development, dissemination, and implementation of EBPIs. We also summarized the opportunities and challenges faced by these researchers, particularly in sustaining the dissemination and implementing of their evidence-based programs over time. Typically, researchers take responsibility for program dissemination, and they have created a variety of approaches to overcoming costs and challenges. However, despite the availability of many strong, developmentally appropriate EBPIs to support child and youth mental health and well-being, systemic gaps between their development and implementation impede equitable access to and sustainability of these resources.

Résumé

L’augmentation des problèmes de santé mentale et des listes d’attente pour les services en période postpandémique met en évidence l’urgence de prévenir...Malgré les recherches approfondies visant à mettre au point des interventions préventives fondées sur des données probantes (IPFDP) destinées aux enfants et aux jeunes du Canada, ces interventions ne sont pas suffisamment connues au pays ni mises en pratique pour avoir un impact important sur leur santé et leur bien-être. À partir d’études de cas réalisées par 18 chercheurs canadiens, également auteurs du présent rapport, nous décrivons et discutons des approches qu’ils ont utilisées. Nous cherchons également à établir les opportunités et les défis auxquels les chercheurs sont confrontés concernant la diffusion et la mise en œuvre de ces programmes fondés sur des données probantes. En général, les chercheurs assument la responsabilité de la diffusion des programmes en développant une variété d’approches pour surmonter les coûts et les obstacles qui y sont associés. Cependant, malgré la disponibilité potentielle de nombreuses IPFDP solides et adaptées au développement pour soutenir la santé mentale et le bien-être des enfants et des jeunes, des lacunes systémiques entre leur développement et leur mise en œuvre entravent un accès équitable à ces ressources de même que la pérennité de ces dernières.
