- Abstract
- This chapter reports on the experience of implementing Check & Connect (C&C) in two Francophone cities, one in North America (Montreal, Canada) and one in Europe (Rouen, France). Most evaluation studies of C&C have been efficacy trials in the sense that these studies evaluated C&C under optimal conditions, with researchers trying to control as much as possible the influence of potentially confounding factors (Gottfredson et al., 2015). The two studies reported here are effectiveness trials in that they are evaluations of C&C implemented in real-life conditions, with minimal control by the researchers over the implementation. Observations from these studies are of great richness as they provide information on conditions that maximize the quality and sustainability of C&C as implemented in different contexts with a minimum of external support. They also provide the opportunity to examine the relation between the effects produced by the intervention and its implementation.
