8 La santé des 11-15 ans : bilan mitigé LE 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 (Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children) 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.
