Thus, a specifically dedicated pharmacoepidemiological program has been developped by the French Addictovigilance centers (CEIP-Addictovigilance) and supported by ANSM (former Afssaps). Its main objective is to contribute to the assessment of psychoactive substances abuse liability, but it can also gather information on the health status of drug users. This article presents profiles, characteristics, health status and drug use of subjects included in the survey carried out in november 2010.
