[The efficiency of drug addiction prevention programs centered on families.].
This literature review examines the efficiency of drug addiction prevention programs centered on families. Many studies underline the determining role of families in the transmission of consumption habits. Moreover, according to many intervenors, the family constitutes a favourable milieu to institute these prevention programs. This article proposes a critical analysis of these programs. The risk factors related to substance abuse with youth are first presented followed by information strategy programs aimed at families, multiple-strategy programs as well as programs aimed at parents who are considered at high risk. A methodological review of evaluative studies is presented. The authors conclude with recommendations.
