title: [Sensitization and training of physicians in the field of drug addiction: the example of a program in Vaud].
abstract: In the canton of Vaud general practitioners and internists from the private sector play a great role in the care for addict patients. Their interventions may also contribute to a decrease of risk factors as they work with families, children and adolescents. To help them to do better and in order to have more collaborators in this field, the University Department of Adult Psychiatry of Lausanne and the Department of Public Health of Vaud have developed a two-year program: the Program of Prevention and Physicians Postgraduate Training in the field of Addiction. The paper presents the different ways of interventions being selected, the first result concerning the program's activities, including a few remarks, and the role of the general practitioner.
