The Czech students scored above the ESPAD average on six of the nine variables presented here. Almost all (93%) students in the Czech Republic had been drinking alcohol during the past 12 months and about half of them (48%) had been drunk during the same period. The reported alcohol volumes consumed on the latest drinking day, however, were not extreme at all (4.5 cl alc. 100%), even though they are slightly above the ESPAD average. Cigarette smoking is highly prevalent in the Czech Republic, where 41 percent of the students had smoked during the past 30 days. Moreover, nearly half (45%) of the students had used cannabis, which is more than twice the ESPAD average. Use of drugs other than cannabis was reported by about one tenth (9%) of the students, which is close to the ESPAD average. Rather small proportions of the students reported use of inhalants (7%) or non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (9%). In contrast, the use of pills in combination with alcohol is three times as frequent in the Czech Republic (18%) as the ESPAD average. |
