Drug use by older adolescents in Paris. Infra-communal analysis by the 2004 ESCAPAD Paris survey of people aged seventeen
The city of Paris seems to be particularly affected by illegal drugs, judging from health statistics (treatment requests, syringe exchange programmes, etc.) and police statistics (stopping and questioning people for drug dealing or drug taking).
However, these indications refer largely to a marginal adult population, located in certain districts and well known through the activity of non-specialist care centres for drug addicts or from certain ethnographical studies.
What about the adolescent population as a whole?
This question can be addressed thanks to the ESCAPAD survey (survey on health and drug consumption statistics among those signing up for military service) conducted in Paris in 2004.
It describes the state of health, sociability and drug use of Parisians aged 17.
