A priority of the French government health section is to promote strategies to develop teenager and young adult abilities to manage their own health. Interventions must be based on digital tools on how to improve it. The Pass’santé Jeunes (PSJ) is a regional measure based on a global, positive, community approaches, and on peers interventions. Managed by the Agence Régionale de Santé since 2013, and lead by the Instance Regional d’Education et de Promotion pour la Santé, this program consists of the provision of two portals: Pass’santé Jeunes and Pass’santé pro. This project aims to renew prevention approaches with youths, and to develop a common culture around efficient intervention strategies with professionals for linkage in digital practices. This initiative has been developed and collaborated with the targeted public, parents, and professionals. We queried the opinions of a youth panel, and requested advice of experts to assure relevance and veracity of the information. Websites were then created for professionals to locate information to support their missions. Analysis of the actual uses of the PSJ were conducted by the University of Burgundy in 2016. Results showed much of the research leaning toward the creation of a prevention tool. For alignment with internet use by youths, we adapted the variety of media (quizzes, videos, apps...). In 2018, the average monthly audience of both sites increased significantly.Greater utilization of these resources is explained by increased awareness by professionals and prevention missions of health students. In the health sector, challenges exist in understanding digital practices of youth and professionals, therefore it is important to play a key liaison role. First identified as an informational medium, these devices are now real resources for meeting and circulating knowledge.Prospects for 2020 are to redirect these tools to the 0-8 years age group, adapt them to situations of disability, and expand to the pregnancy period. Key messages In line with digital practices of youth, the PSJ relies on innovative communication supports, available in different formats (videos, quizzes, games, apps...). Beyond an informational tool for the young, the PSJ turns out to be a tool of knowledge brockering. It facilitates networking, implementation of activities, and improving health practices.
