Trajectories and Reactions of Users and Relatives Consulting French Youth Addiction Services

This study is about services in France called 'Consultations Jeunes Consommateurs' (CJCs), which help young people with addiction problems. There are over 500 of these centres across France. They aim to help young people reduce risks or get proper care, and they also support families. While these services have existed for a long time, no one has properly checked how effective they are. This study wants to track young people and their families over time to see what happens to them after using CJC services. It will also ask about their satisfaction with the help they received. The goal is to understand what helps people improve and what makes them happy with the support.

Addiction

What is this study about?

This research project is looking into special support services in France called 'Consultations Jeunes Consommateurs', or CJCs. These centres are designed specifically to help young people (aged 12-25) who are struggling with addiction. They also offer advice and support to family members, or even other professionals who need guidance.

The main aim of this study is to understand how well these CJC services are actually working. Although these centres have been around for many years, we don't have a clear picture of what happens to young people and their families after they get help. This study wants to follow people over time to see if their situation improves, and whether they are happy with the support they received. This will help make these services better for everyone who needs them in the future.

The researchers will be working with different CJC centres across France, trying to get a good mix of centres from various regions, whether they are in cities or more rural areas. They will be asking questions and collecting information from young people and their families during their first visits and then later on, to track their progress and satisfaction.

Who may be eligible?

You might be able to take part in this study if you are a young person or a family member seeking help for addiction problems for the first time at one of the participating French CJC centres.

For young people, you need to be making your very first visit to a CJC and be between 12 and 25 years old.

For family members or carers, you need to be 18 years or older. You could be making your first visit to a CJC, either with the young person or on your own, or it could be your second visit if you are coming with a young person who is taking part. You would not be able to join if you can't be contacted by phone or if you don't speak enough French.

Answer these quick questions to see if you may be eligible. This is a guide only — the research team makes the final call.

Are you a young person aged 12-25 OR a family member aged 18 or over?
Is this your first time visiting a CJC service (or your second time if you're a family member accompanying a young person)?
Can you be easily reached by phone?
Do you speak and understand French well enough for conversations?

Answer every question to see your result.

What does participation involve?

The information provided does not describe the specific details of participation, such as the number of visits, assessments, medication, or total duration. Generally, studies like this involve answering questions about your experiences and feelings over a period of time, starting from your first visit to a CJC service. It would likely include follow-up conversations or questionnaires to track your progress and satisfaction. The researchers would explain the exact timeline and requirements if you decided to take part.

Potential risks and benefits

Taking part in this study could help improve addiction support services for young people and families in the future, which is a potential benefit for society. For you personally, there might not be direct benefits, but sharing your experience could be helpful. There are no known physical risks. However, discussing personal experiences might sometimes feel uncomfortable. Remember, you can choose to stop taking part in the study at any time, for any reason, without it affecting the care you receive.
