  7. La santé des 11-15 ans : bilan mitigéLE MONDE | 02.09.08 | 15h34  •  Mis à jour le 02.09.08 | 15h45 Bonne nouvelle : en France, les élèves de 11 à 15 ans se jugent, pour la très grande majorité d'entre eux, en bonne santé. C'est ce qui ressort de l'enquête internationale HBSC (HealthBehaviour in School-AgedChildren) menée, en 2006, dans 40 pays sous l'égide de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et publiée, mardi 2 septembre, par l'Institut national de prévention et d'éducation pour la santé (Inpes). La consommation de cigarettes est en baisse, le recours aux préservatifs pour les jeunes de 15 ans sexuellement actifs est massif, les problèmes de surpoids sont, en moyenne, moins fréquents que dans les pays comparables. En revanche, certains indicateurs sont au rouge. La consommation de cannabis, même si elle stagne, est une des plus fortes d'Europe, les ivresses dues à l'alcool progressent, le rapport à l'école laisse à désirer, de même que la communication entre parents et adolescents.

  8. The Health of 11-15 year olds: A mixed bagAre 11-15 year-olds healthy: Results are mixed/Mixed results Good news: in France, most 11-15-year-old school children consider themselves in good health/ to be healthy. These are the findings/conclusions/results of an international HBSC inquiry (Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children) conducted/carried out/undertaken in 2006 in 40 countries under the aegis of /sponsored by the World Health Organisation(WHO) and published on Tuesday 2ndSeptember by the National Institute for Prevention and Health Education (INPES). Cigarette smoking is decreasing/is on the decrease, the use of condoms is prevalent among sexually active 15-year-olds and weight problems are less frequent than in similar countries. However, certain indicators are alarming. Cannabis consumption, although stable, is one of the highest in Europe, drunkenness is increasing and the attitude to school leaves a lot to be desired, just like communication between parents and teenagers.
