Action foundation’s of Rond-Point
Intervening in parental substance abuse requires coordination between professionals and organizations in social and health services. The Rond-Point, a perinatal and family expertise centre for addiction in Montréal, is an integrated service for this presenting problem. The purpose of this article is to describe the approach that led to the conceptualization of the innovative Rond-Point project that several authors schematized in the form of a logic model. It also allows for the appreciation of the project, considering the prior conditions for evaluation. Twenty-two professionals were interviewed and documents were consulted to prepare a thematic analysis and triangulation of content. The results show the production of the logic model and the elements that differ between sources of information. The analysis allows the appreciation of the Rond-Point by considering the four preconditions for program evaluation. As a result, the project does not have the maturity or stability to plan an evaluation. Some preconditions must be revised. In sum, this research proposes relevant improvements for this centre and provides thoughtful reflection for those who wish to develop and implement such a project.
