Résumé :
In France, since the early 90's, telephone surveys have been used to investigate drug-related issues among the general population. However, telephone sampling from directories presents several shortcomings. The main short-coming is that telephone directories do not provide a complete file of house-holds. Some people pay to suppress their name from the listing ("ex-directory" people) or decided to withdraw their telephone line for a unique mobile phone (called the "mobile-only" population); and other people are simply difficult to reach by phone. This shortcoming threatens the representativeness of standard telephone samples. We analysed data extracted from two general population surveys for investigating the characteristics of these three subgroups: the "Baromètre santé 2000" survey (n=13,685) and the OFDT-EROPP 2001 survey (n=2,009), which was completed with a specific survey (n=201) targeting the "mobile-only"population: Overall, taking into account "ex-directory ", "difficult-to-reach "or "mobile-only" respondents had only a minor impact on drug use prevalence estimates. However, our results also underline the importance of investigating these individuals with particular socio-demographic profiles and lifestyles. Even if most European countries use other data collection modes (face to face, postal mail, self-ad-ministered questionnaires), improving the French methodology revealed crucial for the quality of European data comparability in general population surveys.
