“…1 A number of communitylevel research and demonstration intervention projects were initiated during this period, including the North Karelia Project in Finland, 2 the Stanford Three Community Study, 3 the Stanford Five City Project, 4 the Minnesota Heart Health Program, 5 the Pawtucket Program, 6 and the Heartbeat Wales Program. 7 Although the results were mixed, these projects have demonstrated that community-level interventions can be effective in reducing risk factor levels in populations.…”

“…[10][11][12][13][14] Evaluations ofcommunity prevention programs conducted to date have focused mainly on assessing outcomes (e.g., changes in health behavior) and on documenting program output. Much less em-phasis has been placed on analyzing the process of program implementation, particularly where this process has involved community organization activities.…”

OBJECTIVES. To date, evaluations of community-based prevention programs have focused on assessing outcomes, not the process of organizing communities for health promotion. An approach was developed to analyze community organization efforts aimed at advancing community health objectives. These organizational processes are referred to as community activation. METHODS. Information was gathered from 762 informants through a key informant survey conducted in 28 western communities. The data collected included informant ratings of community activation and information about interorganizational activities analyzed through network analytic techniques. RESULTS. Activation levels, as measured by informant ratings, varied across communities. Program coordination, as measured by network analysis, occurred, on average, approximately 30% of the time. Higher income communities tended to be more activated than lower income communities. CONCLUSIONS. There is a widely recognized need for improved information about health-related community organization activities. It appears possible to gather such information through key informant surveys and to develop measures of community organization status that can be used in the evaluation of community health promotion programs.

“…Il ne faut pas sous-estimer l'importance du manque de ressources que les organismes peuvent consacrer à des finalités de santé (quelle que soit la problématique) dans leur choix de ne pas s'engager dans des projets tels les Groupes d'action. Comparativement, dans des communautés qui n'affichent pas un si grand déficit dans leurs ressources, des expé-riences semblables (Lefebvre et al, 1987) ont réussi à rallier des partenaires et à produire des effets.…”

Les Groupes d'action en santé du coeur constituent un projet pilote de développement communautaire visant à promouvoir la santé cardiovasculaire en milieu de pauvreté. Deux expérimentations ont été réalisées de 1991 à 1994 dans un quartier défavorisé de Montréal. L'évaluation vise à expliquer leur mise en oeuvre par l'observation de la communauté cible et de l'intervention. L'analyse montre que la stratégie de mobilisation communautaire adoptée par les promoteurs du projet (la Direction de la santé publique de Montréal-Centre) n'a pas conduit à la création d'un véritable partenariat au regard des priorités et des objectifs. Elle révèle cependant que l'éducation populaire comme base d'intervention en petits groupes a favorisé la participation des citoyens, en plus d'offrir du soutien et de réduire l'isolement, d'améliorer l'estime de soi et de susciter le développement de projets dans un contexte sécurisant
