[Secondary prevention of drug abuse: problems and examples].
Since 1992, the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH) has been promoting an innovative approach of secondary drug use prevention. Our main purpose is to present this approach. For the FOPH, the objective of the measures in this field includes the development of concepts and means to detect, at an early stage, young people at risk, or whose drug consumption is recent or occasional, in order to help them. The basic principle of the strategy is to strengthen the protective role of the community network of the young people at risk. To illustrate this strategy, we briefly describe different projects supported by the FOPH; some of them are immediately launched on a national or regional scale, while others are innovative local or regional projects. Finally, we identify situations which are a priori more favourable to funding or support by the FOPH.
