To compare the problematic behaviours of 1985 adolescent 10th and 11th year students with that of 2005 pupils, and to examine current drink, drug and sexual activity.
Utilised a standardised questionnaire from 1985 and replicated the survey in broadly the same area in 2005. The study was self-administered and guaranteed anonymity for pupil and school, and was able to eliminate any bravado reporting. In 1985 it was not possible to inquire about sexual behaviour nor 'binge' drinking but this study was able to explore current respondents drink and sexual behaviour, utilising a linkage analysis to examine any drink-drug-sexual behaviour axis.
In 1985 males significantly smoked, truanted, fought, vandalised, stole and 'drugged' more than girls, but by 2005 females significantly smoked, drank, used cannabis more than boys. Current adolescent girls were more often were 'binge drinkers' (29%-15%) and sexually active than boys (23% to 11%). Amongst 10th year 8% of boys and 16% of girls were actively sexually, by the 11th year it was 15% of boys and 31% of girls.
Over the 20 years the traditional differences in troublesome youth behaviour has changed, with girls behaving similar or worse than boys, which along with Binge Drinking and greater sexual activity, puts them at greater risk, which is a challenge to parents and services, nonetheless, the majority of young people do Not engage in these problematic behaviours.
比较1985年10年级和11年级青少年学生与2005年学生的问题行为，并调查当前的饮酒、吸毒和性行为情况。
使用1985年的标准化问卷，并于2005年在大致相同的地区重复该调查。该研究采用自行填写的方式，保证学生和学校的匿名性，且能够消除任何夸大报告的情况。1985年无法询问性行为和“狂饮”情况，但本研究能够探讨当前受访者的饮酒和性行为情况，利用关联分析来研究任何饮酒 - 吸毒 - 性行为轴。
1985年，男性在吸烟、逃学、打架、破坏公物、偷窃和“吸毒”方面显著多于女性，但到2005年，女性在吸烟、饮酒、使用大麻方面显著多于男性。当前青少年女孩比男孩更常成为“狂饮者”（29% - 15%）且性行为更活跃（23% 对 11%）。在10年级中，8%的男孩和16%的女孩有活跃的性行为，到11年级时，这一比例分别为15%的男孩和31%的女孩。
在这20年里，青少年问题行为的传统差异发生了变化，女孩的行为与男孩相似或更差，这与狂饮和更多的性行为一起，使她们面临更大的风险，这对家长和服务机构来说是一个挑战，尽管如此，大多数年轻人并未参与这些问题行为。
