This trial investigates the PREVENTURE program aimed at preventing alcohol and substance use among vulnerable teenagers aged 14 to 17. Researchers are evaluating how this program impacts adolescents identified as having personality traits that increase their risk for problematic substance use. The study addresses the lack of reliable primary prevention strategies for addictive behaviors in youth, focusing on vulnerable groups outside school settings and building on previous trials showing PREVENTUREs potential to reduce alcohol consumption. Participants will be assessed using the Substance Use Risk Profile Scale SURPS to identify risk personality traits. Those with at-risk traits are randomized into two groups one follows the PREVENTURE program involving two 90-minute videoconference sessions within three months plus routine care, while the other receives routine care alone. Both groups will have follow-up phone calls at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months to complete assessments using various tests and scales. Throughout the study, participants complete questionnaires on substance use, alcohol, tobacco, cannabis consumption, anxiety, depression, alcohol-related harm, quality of life, and study acceptability at multiple time points up to 12 months. The main outcome measure is the frequency of intensive punctual alcohol use at 6 months. This prospective, controlled, randomized, open-label study is sponsored by the University Hospital, Brest and includes detailed monitoring through phone interviews and questionnaires over the year following intervention or routine care.

This research focuses on elderly individuals aged over 65 years who can move independently. It aims to compare the results of the Five Times Sit To Stand test performed during physical consultations with physiotherapists and teleconsultations, to assess whether these two assessment methods produce similar results. The study is a multicenter, randomized trial with two groups, designed to evaluate concordance between in-person and remote assessments in elderly rehabilitation. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group completes the remote consultation first followed by the physical consultation, and the other group does the physical consultation first followed by the remote consultation. Each consultation involves performing the Five Times Sit To Stand test twice, with a 5-minute rest period between tests. The best time from the two attempts will be used for analysis. After both tests, patients complete a satisfaction survey about their preference. During the study, participants are evaluated at the start with both test methods and followed up by phone at 3, 6, and 12 months to report any falls. Researchers measure the completion times for the test during both consultation types and collect data on falls over one year. The overall goal is to understand the agreement between remote and physical tests and monitor patient safety during the follow-up period.
