Résumé : |
ENGLISH : This paper presents the findings of a five-year study of year-11 pupils (15-16 years old), based on a sample drawn from seven schools in the Noah West of England. It examines: use, feelings about close friend's use and perceptions of the health-related risks of specific drugs. The findings conform with those examining other similar populations, in identifying that `The Usual Suspects', alcohol, tobacco and cannabis are the predominant drugs used by young people at 15-16. The reported use of alcohol and tobacco has remained consistent throughout the course of the study. However, beliefs about the health risks of these drugs have altered over the five-year period. The picture for cannabis has changed in terms of use and feelings about use; pointing to a continued process of normalization for this drug. The paper places the findings in the context of other recent studies; the specific value of the current study arises from the use of pupils from the same schools on a year on year basis (giving a total sample of 4059).
