From 2017 to 2021, he was the Director of the Mixed Mode program in the French National Statistics Institute (Insee). From 2014 to 2017, he was the Director of the French Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction (OFDT) comprising 30 researchers, engineers and assistants. He is a researcher at the Center of Epidemiology and Population Health (CESP), Faculté de médecine, Université Paris Sud, Faculté de médecine UVSQ, INSERM, Université Paris-Saclay. Between 2006 and 2014, he was the Head of Department of Epidemiology and Public Health at the French National Institute for Prevention and Health Education (INPES), Paris, France. Ten full-time scientists worked in this department, most of them engaged in research projects related to alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use. After completing an M.S. degree in statistics, he obtained a Ph.D. degree in sociology at the Sorbonne University (Paris V) where he has been a Researcher of the Laboratory “Psychotrops, Mental Health and Society” (Cermes3 - Cesames), embedded in the Paris Descartes university of La Sorbonne Paris Cité, the National Scientific Research Center (CNRS), the Inserm and the School for Advanced Studies in Social Sciences (EHESS) until 2014. Then he was senior researcher in the Social Epidemiology Research Team (ERES) at the Institut Pierre Louis embedded in the Sorbonne University UPMC, and the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm) until 2017. His research activities, leaning on an epistemological reflection on the quantification of sanitary and social questions, have focused on methodological issues (such as survey methodology and representativity), mental health, social inequalities, addictive behaviours, sleep, with a special emphasis on gender, risk perception, and cross-cultural comparisons. Since 1997, he has developed and implemented several general population surveys on health issues in the adult and adolescent general population in France. He has been involved as principal investigator in several of them. He has also been a Member of several scientific committees and advisory boards (see below), and a Member of the Editorial Board for an international journal: BioMed Research International and of a French journal: Psychotropes. For the last two decades, he published or co-published more than 300 peer reviewed articles in international or French journals (more than 5,000 citations in other scientific papers) and several books among which: Adolescences ? (Belin) ; Usages de drogues et pratiques addictives en France (La Documentation française) ; Violence et santé en France (La Documentation française) ; Les usages sociaux des drogues (PUF) ; La dépression en France (Inpes) ; Regards sur la fin de l'adolescence (OFDT) ; Les facteurs de risque de l'usage de drogues des adolescents (Editions du Conseil de l'Europe). He also published many papers in popular science articles and in professional journals, and participated in more than 100 conferences.
