Malheureusement, les comparaisons en matière d'incidence et de prévalence entre ces études sont difficiles étant donné les différentes approches des chercheurs et les variations des caractéristiques des échantillons concernés (Marino, Zoppi, Morelli, Buoncristiano et Pagni, 1986;Degner et Sloan, 1995;Bailey, Parma et Stephens, 2000).…”
