Key results 2007

The Icelandic students reported rather moderate alcohol and other drug habits. Only half of the students (56%) had consumed any alcohol during the past 12 months (data on drunkenness are missing). The estimated consumption of alcohol on the latest drinking day (4.1 cl alc. 100%), however, is the same as the ESPAD mean. The proportion reporting cigarette smoking during the past 30 days (16%) is half the ESPAD average, and so is the proportion who had ever used cannabis (9%). The use of drugs other than cannabis (5%) is about average, while lifetime use of inhalants (4%) is half the average. Seven percent reported non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives and four percent had used pills in combination with alcohol.
