Emerging phenomena linked to drug use

Its objective is to identify and describe the emerging phenomena linked to use of psychoactive products. 

Just as last year, there were two priority fields of observation: users dependent on illicit drugs (urban environment), covering mainly the population in contact with care and support organisations and participants in party events (party environment), covering mainly use occurring in a recreational context.

These reports originate from a system of observation which is still widely experimental and which has limited fields of investigation. 

The TREND project is based for practical purposes on areas where there is a tradition of observation and field organisations capable of extracting the information. It can not therefore claim to exhaust the many realities of drug use in France.
