Abstract:
This article relates the experience of mobilisation of the CEdRIC strategy by health promotion staff of the Province of Liège, Belgium between June and September 2020. The perception of the beneficiaries is also approached. Four key messages are discussed in the article: the adjustment of a brief educational intervention strategy to the context of the pandemic and integration into primary care; the need for the citizen to be heard and accompanied in times of crisis; the need to go beyond information to health education embedded in a health promotion approach; the role that a structure such as the Province of Liège can play in the health promotion landscape. This article relates the experience of mobilisation of the CEdRIC strategy by health promotion staff of the Province of Liège, through the eyes of the beneficiaries (citizen) contacted by telephone in the days following the intervention. The results indicate an over-information concerning the rules to be respected and a good knowledge of preventive measures. The participants consider these measures useful, easy to apply and declare that they have a role to play in the fight against the pandemic. Nevertheless, not all of the recommendations made by the government are implemented by all participants. Future research should focus on adherence to preventive measures and the factors that can influence this adherence so that future and sustainable actions can be put in place.
