Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Deux programmes de prévention de lusage de marijuana ont été effectués auprès dadolescents âgés de neuf à quatorze ans en milieu rural
: un programme de prévention auprès des enfants seuls et le même programme auprès des enfants et des parents et adultes de la communauté. Une réduction de plus de 50 pour cent de lusage régulier de cannabis a été observée pour les jeunes ayant suivi le deuxième programme. Aucun des deux programmes na eu deffet sur linitiation à lusage de cannabis, les facteurs de risque dentrée dans la consommation étant une insatisfaction vis à vis de lécole, un faible niveau dinstruction, le sentiment dêtre mal-aimé dans la famille, un sentiment dimpopularité et lappartenance à un groupe de pairs dusagers de drogues.
ENGLISH :
The effects on marijuana use of 1) a drug prevention curriculum, or 2) this curriculum with added parent and other adult community activities in com- parison with 3) a control community were investigated. Baseline information on drug-related behaviors from a sample of fourth, fifth, and sixth graders aged nine to fourteen years in rural New Hampshire (N = 1200) were obtained. The children completed these initial questionnaires in classrooms in 1987. In the comprehensive community intervention regular marijuana use was reduced by over 50 percent. No program had a significant effect on the initiation of marijuana use. The predictors of initiation were being in a higher grade, low school satisfaction, poor academic achievement, feeling unloved by one's family, feeling unpopular, and being part of a drug-using peer group. The baseline predictors of subsequent regular marijuana use were poor academic achievement, feeling unpopular, and being part of a drug-using peer group. In interviews the cultural and social contexts of marijuana use were explored. Strategies to prevent marijuana use need to take into account the profile of the marijuana-using child, the adult community's attitudes and beliefs about drugs, and the access of drug sellers and users to children.
