Health-related problems and risky behaviours (substance use) are frequent in adolescents, may alter their physical and mental capabilities, and may thus generate school absenteeism, low academic performance, and school dropout ideation. This study assessed their associations and the contribution of socioeconomic factors among 1559 middle-school adolescents (mean age 13.5 +/- 1.3) from north-eastern France.

Socioeconomic factors have a high contribution reaching 77%.
Prevention action should focus on health-related problems and unhealthy behaviours.
