Abstract

Enquête sur la santé des adolescents Géorgiens: questions méthodologiques et stratégiques Objectifs: Mener une enquête nationale sur la santé et les styles de vie des adolescents de Géorgie. Créer une banque de données permettant 1) la création de services de soins et d’interventions préventives efficaces; 2) le monitorage de la santé des jeunes. Méthodes: Un échantillon aléatoire en grappe de 8 à 10 000 élèves âgés de 15 à 18 ans a été tiré parmi toutes les classes du pays accueillant des élèves de cette tranche d’âge. L’échantillon a été stratifié par âge, région, type d’école et langue parlée. Un questionnaire auto-administré et anonyme de 87 questions, traduites en quatre langues, a été utilisé. Résultats: Jusqu’en juin 2004, 511 classes (9306 élèves) ont été rencontrées. Le nombre de questionnaires valides est de 8039. Les problèmes principaux rencontrés pour cette étude sont liés à son acceptation, à des problématiques trans-culturelles, à des barrières d’ordre politique et stratégiques, ainsi qu’à un environnement physique peu favorable. Conclusions: En dépit de conditions économiques et politiques très défavorables en Géorgie, il a été possible de mener une recherche nationale sur la santé des adolescents répondants aux critères de qualité habituels. Cette recherche sera utilisée pour sensibiliser les autorités et les professionnels impliqués dans les activités de soins et de prévention destinées à cette classe d’âge.
