title: [Use of formal and informal health services by adolescents: cross-cultural study technics].
abstract: A cross-cultural study, in Chile and in France, has been held in order to compare care utilisation strategies used by teenagers and youths in two different contexts: self-administered cares, family cares, official or non-official professional cares. It has been decided to use a questionnaire with open-answers for collecting data on views and practices. Tool building and validation process, realised with both French and Chilean teams, has enabled to work with an original questionnaire, with good reproducibility of answers and very good acceptability. This tool can be used in other cultural contexts.
