Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The validity and utility of the epidemiologic approach to studying heroin use are examined in detail, with particular emphasis on the analogy between heroin use and communicable disease. The rationale for designating heroin use an epidemic phenomenon, the role of the psychosocial model of addiction, and new drug abuse surveillance and intervention techniques are discussed.
