A questionnaire survey of 1,603 secondary school students, aged 14-18 years, was conducted in Trinidad and Tobago in 1988. Prevalence of alcohol use was 84%, tobacco 35%, marijuana 8% and cocaine 2%. Alcohol was the substance most consistently used and students' first exposure to drinking alcohol was with family members. Transitions from primary to secondary schools and from junior to senior schools were associated with increased reporting of alcohol use. Significantly more Indo-Trinidadian than Afro-Trinidadian students reported using alcohol frequently. Conversely more Afro-Trinidadian students than Indo-Trinidadians reported using marijuana. The use of alcohol by students was positively correlated to its use by fathers and negatively with religious activities. The use of drugs among students appears to be a growing problem. There is a need for the implementation of culturally relevant educational prevention programmes in schools.
1988年，在特立尼达和多巴哥对1603名14至18岁的中学生进行了问卷调查。酒精使用率为84%，烟草为35%，大麻为8%，可卡因为2%。酒精是使用最频繁的物质，学生首次接触饮酒是与家庭成员一起。从小学到中学以及从初中到高中的过渡与饮酒报告增加有关。印度裔特立尼达学生比非裔特立尼达学生报告频繁饮酒的人数明显更多。相反，报告使用大麻的非裔特立尼达学生比印度裔特立尼达学生更多。学生饮酒与父亲饮酒呈正相关，与宗教活动呈负相关。学生吸毒问题似乎日益严重。有必要在学校实施与文化相关的教育预防方案。
