FRANÇAIS :
Ce rapport présente les résultats d'une enquête menée auprès de jeunes Européens âgés de 15 à 24 ans. Il analyse leurs comportements et leurs attitudes envers les drogues, y compris les soi-disant «euphorisants légaux», c'est-à-dire, les nouvelles substances qui imitent les effets des drogues illicites et sont souvent vendues sous forme de poudres, herbes ou pilules. Il s'agit d'un aperçu concernant l'usage, la disponibilité des médicaments, et les opinions sur les mesures qui pourraient être mieux prises pour s'attaquer à des problèmes de toxicomanie dans la société. De cette enquête ressort également la perception du risque des groupes-cibles interviewés à l'égard de diverses substances, tel que les risques auxquels l'on s'expose par l'utilisation de certains médicaments, allant de l'héroïne au cannabis, ainsi que l'alcool.
ENGLISH:
- Survey conducted by telephone (fixed-line and mobile phone)
- Fieldwork: 3rd to 23rd of June 2014
- Population: representative sample of population between 15 and 24 years old
- Coverage: 28 Member States of the EU
-Number of interviews: 13,128 (n=500 respondents in all the Member States, with the exception of Cyprus, Luxembourg and Malta, where n=200)
-This survey was carried out for the European Commission, requested by the Directorate-General for Justice (DG JUST) and coordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication - "Strategy, Corporate Communication Actions and Eurobarometer" Unit.
KEY FINDINGS:
Most respondents (92%) have never used any new substances that imitate the effects of illicit drugs. 17% of respondents have used cannabis in the last 12 months (+3 points since the previous survey in 2011).
- Around a quarter of respondents believe it would be easy to obtain cocaine, new substances and ecstasy, and over half believe it would be easy to obtain cannabis.
- More than half of respondents think that using cocaine, ecstasy and new substances once or twice may pose a high risk to a person's health.
- Heroin, cocaine and ecstasy should be banned in the opinion of most respondents, while, for cannabis, a little more than half of them say so. 35% of respondents say that new substances should be banned under any circumstances, while 47% say this only if they pose a risk to health.
- The Internet is by far the most-used source of information about illicit drugs and drug use (59%). The role of media campaigns (-12 points) and school prevention programmes (-9 points) in informing young people about illicit drugs has sharply decreased since 2011.
