Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Une enquête a été menée auprès d'étudiants d'université afin d'évaluer les relations entre leur motivation à éviter l'usage de drogue et leur consommation effective, ceci en fonction de cinq produits (alcool, tabac non fumé, cigarette, marijuana, cocaïne) et de divers niveaux d'utilisation (non-usage, usage occasionnel, régulier, journalier, hebdomadaire...). Les résultats mettent en relief l'importance d'une prévention précoce et de programmes prenant en compte le niveau de consommation du public visé.
ENGLISH :
The purpose of this study was to examine the stages of drug use acquisition among college students, and the relationship between stage status and motivation to avoid drugs and the frequency of drug use. College students (669) were found to differ with regard to their stage of habit acquisition across five drugs. Stage status for a particular drug was associated with motivation to avoid that drug, with less motivation generally being related to greater stage advancement. Stage of acquisition for certain drugs was also found to be related to the frequency of use of other drugs, with alcohol and marijuana stage status being associated with the consumption of the greatest number of drugs.
