The Pelleas Survey, as it is a longitudinal study, allowed to identify some socio-psychological pre-existing factors to IGD with a second wave survey at six months. Students from 11 to 18 years old were surveyed at school. Prevalence of IGD was 12% in the sampling. Depression was found to be as high as 11%.

These data – which are consistent with the literature on the frequency, age of introduction and off-label prescribing in child psychiatry – prompted the unit to set up a working group in 2020 to monitor drug prescriptions, including the pharmacy and the pharmacokinetics laboratory at the hospital and university centre. The main aim of this work was to highlight the improvements in how adolescents are treated for drug-related problems, thanks to this multidisciplinary approach, in terms of the improvements proposed and the resulting clinical benefits. In practice, a meeting was organised every six months at the day hospital to discuss one or two complex situations. The doctor and nurses described the clinical context and explained the difficulties. The pharmacist carried out a drug history and an in-depth analysis of the prescription and provided information on good practice. The biologist analysed the results of plasma pharmacological assays and made recommendations. A review of the literature could also have been carried out. The doctor recorded these discussions in the patient file and involved the teenager and his or her legal representatives in the conclusions of the meeting and the resulting therapeutic choices. This decision-making aid means that a specific, collegial period of reflection can be devoted to drug prescribing, and it provides a better framework for therapeutic strategies, especially outside the scope of marketing authorization. Abnormalities in the metabolism of psychotropic drugs have been identified. This meeting can also contribute to the development of new skills.
