| Résumé : |
FRANÇAIS : A partir d'une étude réalisée sur 210 adolescents écossais, on relève que l'usage de drogues est plutôt lié à des neuropathies et des psychopathies. Drogue et santé ne sont pas très liées, bien que les usagers ont une perception subjective de "ne pas se sentir bien". La discussion porte sur les implications et la mise en oeuvre de programmes préventifs. ENGLISH : Four factors have confounded the association between drug use and morbidity : (a) known drug users may be less healthy than unknown drug users ; (b) drug users are rarely compared to control subjects ; (c) the socio-economic status of drug users predisposes them to ill-health ; (d) the personality of drug users predisposes them to ill-health. Here, controlling for these confounds, in a study of 210 adolescent drug users it was found that subjective ill-health was more strongly related to drug use than was objective ill-health. Drug use was related to neuroticism and psychopathic deviance. Controlling for personality, drug use accounted for little additional variance in health. It is concluded that drug use and health are not strongly related amongst adolescent drug users, although, because of their personalities, drug users tend not to feel well. Implications are discussed for the self-treatment explanation of drug use and for the design of preventative programmes. (Author's abstract) |
