The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and the frequency of the usage of alcohol (ethanol), tobacco, and other addictive substances and the amounts of such substances consumed among male and female students. The study was performed by applying a questionnaire consisting of 26 standard questions for the evaluation of the respondents' health and health-related behavior (A. Gostautas, 1999). This article analyzes students' answers to the questions related to their attitude towards smoking, consumption of alcoholic beverages, the consumed amounts of addictive substances, and the frequency of the usage of such substances. One question was dedicated to the consumption of addictive substances other than tobacco or ethanol. The study included 1475 first- through fourth-year students (713 males and 762 females) from five faculties of the Lithuanian University of Agriculture. This comprised 70% of all students targeted for the inquiry. The obtained results showed that more males, compared to females, used ethanol (89.7% and 79.7%, respectively), smoked (54.7% and 29.1%, respectively), and had tried other addictive substances (35.0% and 16.7%, respectively). More males than females every day or several times per week used ethanol (45.7% and 18.2%, respectively), smoked (43.5% and 29.2%, respectively), and had tried other addictive substances more than once (22.8% and 6.3%, respectively). The prevalence of the usage of ethanol, tobacco, and other addictive substances changed little throughout the four years of studies. The indices of the usage of addictive substances among students were similar to those in the general population.
该研究的目的是确定男女学生中酒精（乙醇）、烟草及其他成瘾物质的使用流行率和使用频率，以及这些物质的消费数量。该研究通过应用一份由26个标准问题组成的问卷来进行，以评估受访者的健康状况和与健康相关的行为（A. 戈斯塔塔斯，1999年）。本文分析了学生对与他们吸烟态度、酒精饮料消费、成瘾物质消费数量以及此类物质使用频率相关问题的回答。有一个问题专门针对除烟草或乙醇之外的成瘾物质消费情况。该研究纳入了立陶宛农业大学五个学院的1475名一至四年级学生（713名男生和762名女生）。这占所有调查对象学生的70%。所得结果表明，与女生相比，使用乙醇的男生更多（分别为89.7%和79.7%），吸烟的男生更多（分别为54.7%和29.1%），尝试过其他成瘾物质的男生也更多（分别为35.0%和16.7%）。每天或每周数次使用乙醇的男生比女生更多（分别为45.7%和18.2%），吸烟的男生比女生更多（分别为43.5%和29.2%），不止一次尝试过其他成瘾物质的男生也比女生更多（分别为22.8%和6.3%）。在四年的学习期间，乙醇、烟草和其他成瘾物质的使用流行率变化不大。学生中成瘾物质的使用指标与普通人群中的指标相似。
