The results show that the rates reported here are high on six of the nine variables. The majority of the Slovak students have consumed alcohol: 88 percent reported consumption during the past 12 months, which is higher than the ESPAD average. Moreover, half of them (50%) had been drunk during the same period, which is also above average. The estimated volume of alcohol consumed on the latest drinking day (4.2 cl alc. 100%), however, is the same as the ESPAD mean. The students in Slovakia smoke to a higher degree (37%) than the average ESPAD student. One third (32%) of them have also used cannabis, which is clearly higher than average. About one tenth (9%) had used any drug other than cannabis. Use of inhalants (13%) is also more frequent in Slovakia than in many other countries, as is the use of pills in combination with alcohol (12%). The proportion reporting non-prescription use of tranquillisers or sedatives (5%) is very close to the ESPAD average. |
