Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude démographique et statistique comparative sur deux groupes d'élèves : 52 francophones et 48 indiens, sur la consommation de drogues, l'âge de l'initiation, les différences par sexe et par classe d'âge, etc... Les indiens consomment plus de produits que les francophones.
ENGLISH :
A questionnaire exploring the smoking habits, past and current use of alcoholic beverages, cannabis, and other illicit drugs was distributed among Francophone and Native high school students in a rural area of Quebec. The lifetime prevalence figures indicated that use of illicit drugs was significantly higher among Native students. A gender difference was observed in Native students, females reporting an earlier involvement with most substances under study. This tendency decreased with age. The implications of this study for the prevention of alcohol and substance abuse among rural and Native youths are discussed. (Extract from author's abstract).
