The most prominent features of the results from Monaco are the relatively high prevalence rates for cannabis use and non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives. The majority (87%) of the students in Monaco had consumed alcohol during the past 12 months, but no more than a third (35%) of them had been drunk during the same period. The latter is well in line with the reported volume of alcohol consumed on the latest drinking day (2.5 cl alc. 100%), which is clearly lower than the ESPAD average. A somewhat lower percentage than average report having smoked during the past 30 days (25%). More than one fourth (28%) of the students in Monaco have used cannabis, which is well above average, and 10 percent report having used drugs other than cannabis. Both the use of inhalants (8%) and the use of pills in combination with alcohol (5%) are about as frequent as the ESPAD mean, but the non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (12%) is twice as high as in the average ESPAD country. |
