Drugs and public policies: changes in perceptions and opinions, 1999-2002

For the second time since 1999, the EROPP general population survey provides an opportunity to review the perceptions and opinions of the French population on the drugs and public actions that affect them. 

More than 2 000 people aged between 15 and 75, selected by the quota method, were thus interviewed by telephone at home and invited to give their point of view by answering a questionnaire lasting about twenty minutes. 

The main subjects tackled were the perceptions of the dangerousness of psychoactive substances, the fears they arouse and opinions on public policy measures actually in place or being considered.

A comparison of these first two ERROP exercises highlights a number of trends which, where possible, have been positioned in relation to the results of surveys carried out before the end of the 1990s.
