What this trial studies
This program aims to address the rising rates of alcohol consumption among adolescents aged 14 to 17 in Brittany by implementing a dedicated prevention strategy. The PREVENTURE program focuses on educating teenagers about the risks of alcohol use and providing support to reduce the likelihood of developing substance use disorders. Participants will receive routine care alongside the intervention, which is designed to be accessible through digital platforms. The study seeks to gather reliable data on the effectiveness of this prevention approach in a school setting.
