[Joint study of seclusion, mechanical restraint and chemical restraint: Pilot study in three French psychiatric hospitals].

Psychiatric wards that only exceptionally use isolation and mechanical restraint may be suspected of using "chemical restraint". However, in the case of these services, the hypothesis of a reduction in the general level of restraint can also be formulated. Prior to a comprehensive study to test these hypotheses, the current research aims to assess indicators which define high levels of the use of these measures and a relevant sample.

[Smoking and mental disability : A mixed observational study using a diverse sample of medical-social establishments and services].

Introduction: A multi-center observational study was carried out in ten ESMS, using a mixed methodology (site visits, questionnaire survey, semi-directive group interviews with professionals and individual interviews with users).

Purpose Of The Research: The aim of this article is to describe the management and prevention of smoking in ESMS for people with mental health disorders, and to characterize and identify the smoking behaviors and representations of ESMS users and the professionals working there.

Results: The study made it possible to distinguish between ESMS in terms of the organization of smoking areas and tobacco prevention initiatives.

The (De)normalisation of Smoking Among Apprentices: Plurality of Settings, Norms and Vulnerability Levels.

When it comes to smoking, apprentices are considered a 'vulnerable' population. They have been the subject of targeted approaches based on the assumption of common characteristics. In contrast to most public health studies, that assume homogeneity of vulnerable groups, this article, based on Lahire's 'theory of the plural individual', aims to examine inter- and intra-individual variability in relation to tobacco exposure.

[PLAID-Care: Research into the reduced use of coercion in France].

The use of coercion is a common practice in psychiatry despite its deleterious effects and insufficient evidence of benefits. It is so deeply rooted that the mention of establishments that make little use of it arouses a form of incredulity. However, the history of psychiatry and the international literature provide numerous examples of a psychiatry that is hardly coercive and numerous experiences of a reduction in the use of seclusion and/or restraint in psychiatric facilities.

[Stigmatization and public health: The dark-side of anti-smoking interventions].

Tobacco control strategies, considered legitimate and effective, are rarely the subject of critical analysis in France. This is specifically true with regard to their potentially harmful effects, particularly against people who continue to smoke. This article introduces this debate, focusing on the potentially stigmatizing effects of anti-smoking policies.
