Résumé
The Health Service by Health Students (HSHS) is a French interprofessional education program implemented in 2018 across all French regions by Health Universities. It aims to train health students (HS) in prevention through primary health prevention actions (PHPA) targeting young populations. This study evaluated the impact of the HSHS program in Franche-Comté (HSHS-FC) on HS's representations of their target public during the 2022-23 academic year. A longitudinal, observational, prospective multicenter survey was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire before (T1) and after (T2) PHPA. The variation in responses between T1 and T2 (Δ) was analyzed for each target public. Among 755 HS included, 468 (62.0%) worked with young children, 240 (32.7%) with teenagers, and 40 (5.3%) with young adults. No significant differences in representations were found at T1 and T2 between groups regarding social background or health behavior factors. However, students working with young children and teenagers showed a statistically significant change in all items between T1 and T2. At T1, HS working with young children reported lower perceptions of their ability to receive, understand, and integrate information. Students focusing on young children reported the greatest shift in representations. HSHS-FC plays a role in reshaping HS's representations of young publics, especially children. The greater evolution in perception among HS working with young children highlights the value of initiating primary prevention early in life.
