Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Une population importante de jeunes a été suivie jusqu'à l'âge adulte et évaluée quant à ses comportements et son mode de vie. L'usage précoce de drogue vient casser le rythme normal du développement de l'adolescent. Il conduit à la criminalité, à l'instabilité dans le travail et au détachement des études, aux psychoses... La prise en charge doit viser non seulement la réduction de l'usage de drogue mais aussi le développement social et la maturation de la personne.
ENGLISH :
This paper reviews recent results and work in progress from a longitudinal study of drug use etiologies and consequences. To determine the correlates and consequences of adolescent drug use, controlling for related tendencies such as lack of social conformity and deviant friendship networks, 654 youngsters were followed into young adulthood and their behaviors and lifestyles evaluated. Teenage drug use was found to disrupt many critical developmental tasks of adolescence and young adulthood. Tendencies to use many different drugs as an adolescent led in yound adulthood to increased drug crime involvement, decreased college involvement, increased job instability, income, psychoticism, and stealing episodes. Intervention efforts should be directed non only towards decreasing drug use, but also towards improving personal maturity, social skills, and economic opportunities. (Extract from author's abstract).
