Je présenterai une communication affichée lors du “15th general meeting of European association of experimental social psychology EAESP” qui aura lieu du 10 au 14 juin 2008 à Opatija en Croatie.
La communication s’intitule ” An attempt to evaluate a prevention school program“. Bazillier, C., Verlhiac, J-F, Mallet, P.
Le résumé qui a été proposé est le suivant:
Although for several decades numerous health prevention programs targeted French children, very few research assessed the outcomes of these programs. The aim of our communication is to present the first results of a longitudinal study, which is designed a) to measure the effects of a program intended to prevent children from smoking and eating misbehaviors and (b) to examine several factors that are expected to mediate the effects of this prevention program. This program relies on specific thematic sessions (tobacco or eating) implemented during school class, is developed by one of the most important French associations that collect funds to fight against cancer and targets 8-to-11-year-old children, The participants are a thousand 8-to-11-year-old children leaving in the suburb of Paris who are participating in the first wave of the study, and are expected to participate in the 2008/2009 and 2009/2010 waves. We study a range of psycho-social and developmental determinants, assessed through a self report questionnaire and notably: attitudes, knowledge about tobacco and nutrition, health beliefs, peer pressure and parental supervision, behavioral intention, self report behavior and peer affiliation. Measures of these determinants will be done four times in three years so that we can measure their evolution. We use a pre-test, post-test and control group method. There are three experimental group in which the number of intervention courses vary and one control group. We will be able to present the first results of this study during the EAESP congress.
à bientôt,
Cécile Bazillier
