title: [Youth and psychotropic drugs in Belgium].
abstract: The results of epidemiological studies show that in Belgium the use of psychotropic is high in the general population and in particular among young people. Systematically, one finds more users among girls than among boys, among young workers than among young school attenders, among young people whose parents are themselves users and in the regions of advanced urbanisation. These epidemiological data could be useful in orienting toward preventive actions to be undertaken.
