The results on all key variables are close to average, except for the non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives, which is more than twice the ESPAD mean. The majority (87%) of the students in Lithuania had been drinking alcohol during the past 12 months and 43 percent had been drunk during the same period, both rates being slightly higher than the ESPAD average. On the other hand, the estimated consumption on the latest drinking day was very close to average (4.0 cl alc. 100%). Compared with the ESPAD mean, slightly more students in Lithuania (34%) had smoked during the past 30 days. The rates of use of cannabis and of drugs other than cannabis, however, are the same as the average (18% and 7%, respectively). Very few of the Lithuanian students had used inhalants (3%, which is about half the mean). As mentioned above, non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives is more common in Lithuania than in many other ESPAD countries – 16 percent reported this – but the use of pills in combination with alcohol is not very common (5%). |
