Abstract

The main aims of this article are to identify the level and starting age of consumption of psychotropic drugs among young Polynesians, to measure the evolution of these indicators since the 1990s and compare them with the situation in metropolitan France. The present situation in French Polynesia, though privileged in comparison with many other Pacific islands, shows considerable social inequalities and uncertainty about identity which no doubt also play an important part in the addictive behaviour of young Polynesians.
