Abstract
Cet article s’intéresse à la consommation d’alcool et de drogues illicites des adolescents francophones. Un de ses principaux objectifs est de décrire les comportements à risque des élèves de la 9e à la 12e année des écoles rurales et urbaines de la Division scolaire franco-manitobaine (DSFM). On y présente la prévalence de la consommation d’alcool et de drogues des adolescents canadiens en comparaison avec celle des jeunes francophones du Manitoba. De plus, différents aspects, tels l’expérimentation, les facteurs de risques et les conséquences reliées à la consommation d’alcool et de drogues, sont abordés afin de brosser un tableau des comportements et des tendances de cette consommation. Dans l’ensemble, les résultats de l’enquête en milieu francophone minoritaire sont comparables à ceux obtenus chez la majorité anglophone.
This article addresses alcohol and illicit drug consumption among Francophone teens. One of the primary objectives of the article is to describe at-risk behaviours of students in grades 9 through 12 in rural and urban schools of the Division scolaire franco-manitobaine (DSFM). The prevalence of alcohol and drug use among Canadian teens in general is compared to that of Francophone youth in Manitoba. In addition, the author examines various aspects of this issue—such as experimentation, risk factors and consequences of alcohol and drug use—to paint a picture of behaviours and trends tied to drug and alcohol consumption. Overall, results of the study in a minority Francophone context are comparable to findings for the Anglophone majority.
