Résumé
Grâce à une subvention des Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC), il se développe actuellement une nouvelle génération d’études en épidémiologie sociale et psychiatrique dans une zone circonscrite se situant dans le sud-ouest de Montréal où vivent 258 000 personnes. Ce programme de recherche repose sur une étude prospective longitudinale visant à identifier les déterminants de la santé mentale de la population, et sur quatre études spécifiques qui abordent des paramètres importants pour la santé mentale : l’écologie sociale et physique des quartiers, le soutien social, le stigma social et les services en santé mentale. Ce programme est complété par l’utilisation de la dernière génération des outils technologiques et informatiques soit un système d’information géographique (SIG) qui permet d’apprécier les effets du contexte sur la santé mentale. Les bases théoriques sur lesquels repose ce modèle sont présentées de même qu’une description sommaire des méthodes utilisées.
Abstract
The authors were granted funding from the Canadian Institute of Health Research (CIHR) to develop a new generation of epidemiological studies in the field of social and psychiatric epidemiology in a catchment area in Montréal, with a population of around 258 000. This research program will begin with a longitudinal study that will identify mental health determinants and will be followed by four specific studies on important aspects of mental health : service organization, social stigma, and neighbourhood ecology and social support actualization. A Geographic information System based on postal codes will also be used as a mean to evaluate the effects of social and physical environment on mental health and its interactions with individual determinants of mental health. This article describes the research program, its theoretical bases and more briefly, its methodology.
Resumen
Gracias a una subvención de los Institutos de Investigación en Salud de Canadá (IRSC), actualmente se está desarrollando una nueva generación de estudios en epidemiología social y psiquiátrica en una zona circunscrita localizada en el sudoeste de Montreal, donde viven 258,000 personas. Este programa de investigación se apoya en un estudio prospectivo longitudinal, que busca identificar las determinantes de la salud mental de la población, y en cuatro estudios específicos que abordan los parámetros importantes para la salud mental: la ecología social y física de los barrios, el apoyo social, el estigma social y los servicios de salud mental. Este programa se completa con la utilización de la última generación de herramientas tecnológicas e informáticas, es decir, un sistema de información geográfico (SIG) que permite apreciar los efectos del contexto en la salud mental. Se presentan las bases teóricas en las que se apoya este modelo así como una descripción somera de los métodos utilizados.
Resumo
Graças a uma subvenção dos Institutos de Pesquisa em Saúde do Canadá (IRSC), é desenvolvida atualmente uma nova geração de estudos em epidemiologia social e psiquiátrica em uma zona circunscrita situando-se no sudoeste de Montreal, onde vivem 258 mil pessoas. Este programa de pesquisa baseia-se em um estudo prospectivo longitudinal visando identificar os determinantes da saúde mental da população, e sobre quatro estudos específicos que abordam parâmetros importantes para a saúde mental: a ecologia social e física dos bairros, o apoio social, o estigma social e os serviços em saúde mental. Este programa é realizado com a utilização da última geração de ferramentas tecnológicas e informáticas, ou seja, um sistema de informação geográfica (SIG) que permite apreciar os efeitos do contexto na saúde mental. As bases teóricas sobre as quais repousa este modelo são apresentadas, além de uma descrição sumária dos métodos utilizados.
