Moreover, programs implemented in school settings often suffer of a less rigorous implementation, thus limiting their potential effectiveness. The identification of factors influencing implementation fidelity is essential to improve the quality of services. Guided by a theory-driven evaluation model, we assessed the quality of implementation of the Pare-Chocs program and the factors that affected this quality with the elements of action model of Chen (2005). Participants were 15 professionals that implemented Pare-Chocs with six groups of adolescents exhibiting high depressive symptoms. A mixed-method approach was used to collect quantitative data on implementation fidelity in the six groups and qualitative data on action model components. Our results suggest that adherence, dose and participant responsiveness were high. Time constraints and lack of previous education linked to program theory limited the fidelity of implementation, but training, supervision and program guide enhanced it. These findings confirm that prevention programs disseminated in school settings could be implemented with a high level of fidelity, although some challenge must be considered in treatment planning to contribute to higher program effects. Moreover, fidelity should be systematically evaluated in this setting.

To ensure the success of all students, the school must look into the means available in educational environments. Differentiated instruction appears as a preferred measure. However, the studies reported mention that teachers seldom use them systematically. In this context, this article aims to describe the differentiated pedagogical practices implemented within music classes. To achieve this, self-reported data from 101 respondents were analyzed.

The objectives of this study are to describe the choices made by rehabilitation centers (CRDITED) in the context of a universal community based on Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention program (EIBI) for 2 to 5 year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Québec (Canada). Based on a theoretical evaluation model, a questionnaire was filled out by 15 CRDITEDs, covering the large majority of the Quebec territory but also the Quebec population. Results show a great diversity between the different CRDITEDs. Factors that impact implementation quality are identified. Absence of evidence-based implementation practices and the diversity of the approaches to EIBI are discussed.

Method A telephone survey was conducted with a representative sample of 1001 women from the province of Quebec (Canada). Different demographic variables, all four child maltreatment forms (sexual, physical, psychological and neglect) and intimate partner violence experienced in the last 12 months were evaluated to explore their links with depression and post-traumatic stress symptoms of the participants at the time of the investigation.Results Domestic violence during the last 12 months as well as negligence and physical violence during childhood are associated with the presence of clinical intensity post-traumatic symptoms. Youngest age, sexual and psychological violence during childhood are associated with the presence of depression.Conclusion Those results underlie the importance to consider different forms...

À l’aide du modèle d’adaptation culturelle de Kumpfer et ses collègues (2008) et d’un devis mixte incorporé, cette étude vise à décrire l’adaptation en « profondeur » du programme de prévention des dépendances Système d pour des élèves en provenance d’une école innue du Québec. Pour le volet qualitatif, différents acteurs du milieu autochtone ont été consultés (un directeur d’école, deux enseignants, deux intervenants scolaires, six animateurs, neuf parents) afin d’adapter le programme en « profondeur ». Pour le volet quantitatif, des journaux de bord ont permis, d’une part, de cibler les activités ayant été réalisées et, d’autre part, de déterminer leur degré d’utilité perçue selon les animateurs et les enseignants des activités ayant été animées.

This study sought to determine the prevalence and cooccurrence of various forms of violence (physical, sexual and psychological). A telephone survey was conducted with a representative sample of 822 Quebec adults. More than one in three adults (36%) reported having experienced one form of violence in childhood. Ten percent (10%) of the adults experienced two forms of violence while 3% of the respondents reported having experienced all three forms of violence in childhood. Physical violence (22%) was the form most frequently reported, followed by psychological violence (16%) and sexual violence (14%). The different prevalence rates did not vary as a function of age. However, women were more likely to report having been sexually victimized (rape and fondling) and less likely to report having experienced physical violence. These results, including both the global ra...

Unfortunately, the conceptual field concerning social emotions is rather unsettled and the concept of empathy remains to be consensually defined. For this reason, in a preceding critical and historical study, we carefully distinguished empathy from the related concepts of sympathy, emotional contagion andpersonal distress, from what we propose to call ―emotional cutoff .‖ We then developed and validated a CEC test with three components: emotional cutoff , empathy, and emotional contagion. The validation process took place in France, Switzerland, and Canada. After a presentation of the definitions of empathy, emotional contagion, and emotional cutoff , this chapter summarizes the validation results. A number of results show that the ―emotional cut-off...
