Key results 2007

The Danish data have limited comparability with ESPAD averages because of the poor representativeness of the Danish sample. Keeping this in mind, however, it is interesting to look closer at the nine key variables presented here. Almost all Danish students (94%) reported alcohol consumption during the past 12 months and the majority of them (73%) had been drunk during the same period, which is almost twice the ESPAD average. Moreover, the estimated volume consumed on the latest drinking day is the highest reported in this study (7.5 cl alc. 100%) and almost twice the average. The number of students who had been smoking during the past 30 days was 32 percent, while the lifetime prevalence of cannabis use was 25 percent. Ten percent of the students had used drugs other than cannabis, but a rather small proportion (6%) reported use of inhalants. Proportions were also rather small for non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (5%) and for use of alcohol in combination with pills (6%).
