Résumé :
One hundred consecutive juvenile drug offenders with amphetamine use in a remand center were assessed for extent of substance use and psychiatric morbidity by a psychiatrist from 1998 to 1999. They were monitored for one year after discharge. The "risk" of being recommitted to the remand center against use of various drugs and psychiatric morbidity was determined. Amphetamine-use disorder was more prevalent in those who were recommitted than those who were not, while no significant difference was found with licit substances, psychiatric morbidity, or the number of substances used between these two groups. In view of the high dependency properties of amphetamine, early intervention is suggested to prevent reuse. (Editor's abstract.)
