    AbstractIn 1988, a cross-sectional study was undertaken in secondary modern schools from the city of Le Havre in order to assess the spread of health education regarding licit and illicit drugs and prepare a pedagogical kit including adolescent opinions on the subject. Through the school system, more than one adolescent out 5 had been taught about tobacco or alcohol, and 11% about illicit drugs. Only 6% had been informed about all 3 subjects, and 70% had not received any information. Regarding alcohol and tobacco, health education was positively appreciated by adolescents. Information related to potential health risk constituted the main source of satisfaction. Lastly, 62% of the adolescents were ready to set up a health promotion program on illicits drugs. This choice was not influenced by age, sex or school performance.
