Since it was introduced in 1999, the TREND scheme has focused on population groups consuming psychotropic products far more intensively than the general population of an equivalent age. The observations made can therefore not be correlated to the whole of the French population. 

The highlights from 2006-2007 are presented in two sections: 

  • a general overview of numerous basic trends concerning users and practices. 
  • the individual substances consumed.
