Psychoactive substances amongst middle school and secondary school pupils: use in 2003 and trends over the past ten years
This paper presents the first results of the French part of the ESPAD 2003 survey (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) and concerns the use of psychoactive substances by young 12-18 year-old middle school and secondary school pupils.
The quadrennial ESPAD survey, which has been carried out in France since 1999, fits into an ongoing OFDT observation device whose aim, since 1997, has been to study uses, attitudes and opinions in relation to drugs.
ESPAD is carried out under the scientific responsibility of the INSERM "Adolescent health" team (Marie Choquet) and the ODFT "General population surveys" unit (François Beck), in partnership with the Ministère de la Jeunesse, de l'Éducation nationale et de la Recherche [Ministry of Youth, National Education and Research] (MJENR).
In addition to the level of the various uses, it is possible to study, over a period of ten years, the changes in the uses of pupils at secondary level, thanks to the previous national surveys: ESPAD 1999 and INSERM 1993.
