Key results 2003

The proportion of Latvian students who had been drinking any alcohol during the last 12 months is somewhat higher than average for all countries (87 versus 83%). The tendency is the same regarding the proportion of students who had been drunk during the same period (57 compared to 53%). The lifetime prevalence of smoking is higher in Latvia than average (78 versus 66%) and so is the 30 days prevalence (40 and 35% respectively). The proportion of students who have used marijuana or hashish is smaller than the ESPAD average (16 compared to 21%) while the lifetime prevalence of any drug but cannabis is about the same (5 versus 6%).

Use of inhalants is less common than the average for all countries (7 compared to 10%), and this holds true also for use of tranquillisers or sedatives without a doctor’s prescription (3 and 6% respectively). Use of alcohol in combination with pills is about as common in Latvia as the average for all ESPAD countries (6 versus 7%).
