Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Political, professional and public concern regarding young people and illicit substance use continues to gain momentum in line with statistical data that indicate more young people are using drugs and at a younger age. It has been identified that there needs to be a better understanding of what young people believe about drugs, if credible and relevant interventions are to be developed. Furthermore, the opinions of young recipients of certain health education approaches is a neglected area. This paper presents the findings of some research carried out among some young people attending a youth club in an inner city location to meet these identified needs. Insights were gained regarding the motivational factors for use and non-use of illicit drugs and what the young people found helpful (and not so helpful) regarding health education and drug use. However, the findings suggest a priority is that the broader social needs of these young people must be addressed as a priority if subsequent educational interventions are to be of success.
