Key results 2003

The proportion of Icelandic students who had consumed any alcohol during the last 12 months is lower than the average for all ESPAD countries (64 compared to 83%), and the same is true for the proportion that reported having been drunk during the same period (47 versus 53%). Smoking is less common in Iceland than in most other countries; the lifetime prevalence is 46% compared to 66% on average, and 30 days prevalence is 20% compared to the average of 35%.

The use of marijuana or hashish is also less frequent than the average (13 compared to 21%). However, the use of any illicit drug other than cannabis is equal to the ESPAD average (6%). Lifetime use of inhalants is only slightly higher than the average (12 versus 10%). Also the use of tranquillisers or sedatives without a doctor’s prescription and alcohol in combination with pills show the same tendency (9 versus 6% and 8 versus 7% respectively).
