Drugs at 17: regional analyses of the 2022 ESCAPAD survey

For the past two decades the Survey on Health and Use on National Defence and Citizenship Day (ESCAPAD) conducted by the OFDT has made it possible to quantify the use of psychoactive substance by 17-year-olds at a regional level.

This new report will be valuable for professionals in the field to gain an overall better understanding of the social phenomena impacting the region in order to adapt health policies and prevention measures.

The regions

Regions are an official geographic and administrative unit since 1960. Regions are run by a council in charge of applying laws at the local level, and adopting regulations within the scope of said laws. Their responsibilities include investment decisions, infrastructures, transportations, health and social welfare, and school administration. A 2015 Bill enhanced the regions’ authority in economic development.

A diagonal running from Brittany to Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Teenagers living south of a diagonal running from Brittany (West) to Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (South-east) consume more tobacco, alcohol, cannabis, and other illicit substances, whereas teens from the North-East consume less.

Changes in use levels between 2017 and 2022 are generally converging

Most of the regions maintain their position relative to France as a whole, as already described in 2017. However, some regions such as Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (South-east), now stand out by their higher levels of substance use
