Notes:
This table presents data on 15- to 16-year-old school students obtained from national surveys. In all of the school surveys, the method for data collection was classroom-based, anonymous, self-completion questionnaires in written test conditions.
Caution is required comparing figures due to methodological limitations. For methods and definitions see Methods and definitions: youth and the schools population.
ESPAD (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other drugs) is coordinated by the Swedish Council for Information on Alcohol and Other drugs (CAN). Collaboration between the ESPAD and the EMCDDA started in 1995. ESPAD prevalence figures are taken from published ESPAD reports and may differ sometimes from those reported directly by Member States. The sample sizes given refer to the number of participating 15- to 16-year-old students who filled in the questionnaire.
(1) ESPAD 2011 data for Belgium refer only to Flanders. ESPAD 2011 Germany figures are based in only five out of sixteen federal states (Bundesländer).
(2) ESPAD 2011 data for the United Kingdom has limited comparability.
