Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude statistique sur la consommation d'alcool, de kava, d'analgésiques et de tabac dans les populations aborigènes. A partir de questionnaires on établit la prévalence, la fréquence de consommation, les quantités, en relation avec les croyances et la place de la drogue dans la culture de ces populations. L'étude note des différences importantes avec les populations urbaines d'Australie.
ENGLISH:
During April to November 1986 and May to October 1987, a systematic survey of patterns of use of alcohol, kava, tobacco and analgesics by Northern Territory Aboriginal people aged 15 years and older was conducted. The objectives of the study were to ascertain the prevalence, the frequency and the quantity of drugs used. In addition, information about Aboriginal people's perceptions of the drugs, their beliefs about drug use and the value of drugs in their culture was collected. Using two survey instruments, an individual questionnaire and a group questionnaire, data were gathered from 1764 Aboriginal people living in the Northern Territory. As a whole, the Northern Territory Aboriginal people have a drug consumption pattern quite distinct from urban Australians.
