The overall impression of the Dutch results is that they are well in line with the ESPAD average, except as regards the use of cannabis. However, although the proportions reporting alcohol consumption (84%) and drunkenness (36%) during the past 12 months are both very close to average, the reported volume consumed on the latest drinking day (4.9 cl alc. 100%) is somewhat above average. The 30-days prevalence of smoking cigarettes (30%) is about the same as in many other countries. More than one fourth (28%) of the Dutch students report having used cannabis, which is higher than average, while the use of any other drug (7%) does not differ at all from the ESPAD mean. The rates of use of inhalants (6%), non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (7%) and use of pills in combination with alcohol (4%) are all very close to the ESPAD average. |
