Faroe Islands

Key results 2003

The proportion of students in the Faroe Islands who had been drinking alcohol during the last 12 months was lower than the average (76 compared to 83%), while the proportion of students who had been drunk during the same period was slightly above average (57 versus 53%). However, the lifetime smoking prevalence is substantially higher in the Faroe Islands (83%) than the average for all ESPAD countries (66%) and the 30 days prevalence of smoking slightly higher (41 compared to 35%). Very few students in the Faroe Islands had used any illicit drug.

The proportion of students who had used marijuana or hashish was less than half the average (9% versus 21%) and the same can be said about any other illicit drug than cannabis (2 compared to 6%). The proportion reporting use of inhalants was about the same as the average (11 and 10% respectively) and this is also true regarding the use of tranquillisers or sedatives without a doctor’s prescription (5 versus 6%). The use of alcohol together with pills is slightly higher than the average (10 compared to 7%).
