Abstract:
The INRP carried out a study aiming to clarify consumption patterns of illicit drugs by high school students in difficult suburbs. There was a marked difference between youth being schooled in general high schools, which are relatively protected compared to reference studies, and those in vocational high schools for which cannabis consumption is higher. The multivaried analytic study of the data shows a significant influence from peers. The responsibility of adults seems to be present as much within families as within the school system, and even more broadly among the general group of social actors.
