Summary
The Regional Health Programme of Children and Adolescents (PRSJ) provided a flexible strategic framework, fostering creativity and local adaptation for improved child and adolescent health initiatives in Alpes Cote d'Azur.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Health Policy
- Adolescent Health
Context:
- The Regional Health Programme of Children and Adolescents (PRSJ) was developed in the Alpes Cote d'Azur province between March 1998 and May 1999.
- It served as a strategic framework rather than a strictly operational program.
Purpose:
- To establish a comprehensive strategic framework for improving children and adolescents' health at a regional level.
- To adapt interventions using regional instruments and territory-based network approaches.
Summary:
- The PRSJ framework was positively received and adopted by stakeholders.
- Networks focused on therapeutic objectives encouraged more spontaneous creativity than those addressing health determinants, which required local support.
- Local communities proved ideal for program dissemination and sustainability.
Impact:
- The PRSJ strategic framework empowered local actors and facilitated the expression of their talents.
- The program's adaptable approach, integrating programmatic focus, epidemiology, and socio-geographic interventions, proved pertinent.
- The study highlights elements that strengthen the framework beyond its initial strategic orientations.
