Key results 2007

Most of the results on the selected variables from the Estonian survey are very close to the ESPAD average. The proportions reporting alcohol consumption during the past 12 months (87%) is slightly above average, while the percentage having been drunk during the same period (42%) is about the same as in many other ESPAD countries. However, the estimated volume of alcohol consumed on the latest drinking day (5.1 cl alc. 100%) is somewhat higher than average. Almost one third (29%) of the Estonian students had been smoking cigarettes during the past 30 days. Cannabis use, however, was somewhat more frequent in Estonia than in other ESPAD countries. One-fourth (26%) of the students reported this, while about one tenth (9%) had used drugs other than cannabis. Less than ten percent of the students had reported use of inhalants (9%), non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (7%) or alcohol in combination with pills (5%).
