The aim of the study was to examine trends in the prevalence of lifetime cannabis use among the Czech 15-year old students.
Data from the nationally representative Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Survey, conducted in the Czech Republic in 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014, were used. Trends in cannabis use among both boys and girls were modelled through binary logistic regression with period as a predictor of the lifetime cannabis use.
The prevalence of lifetime cannabis use has significantly decreased among young Czechs, particularly among boys. Gender differences in cannabis use have been also gradually decreasing since 2002, with no significant differences between genders in recent period.
Although there are positive changes in the prevalence of adolescent cannabis use, from the European perspective, Czech students still belong to those with significantly higher rates in this respect. Thus, alongside with the use of other substances, adolescent cannabis consumption remains an important challenge for the national public health policy.
本研究旨在调查捷克15岁学生终生使用大麻的流行趋势。
使用了2002年、2006年、2010年和2014年在捷克共和国进行的具有全国代表性的学龄儿童健康行为调查数据。通过二元逻辑回归模型,将时期作为终生使用大麻的预测因素,对男孩和女孩的大麻使用趋势进行建模。
捷克年轻人中终生使用大麻的流行率显著下降,尤其是男孩。自2002年以来,大麻使用方面的性别差异也在逐渐减小,近期两性之间无显著差异。
尽管青少年使用大麻的流行率有积极变化,但从欧洲角度来看,捷克学生在这方面仍属于使用率显著较高的群体。因此,与其他物质的使用情况一样,青少年大麻消费仍然是国家公共卫生政策面临的一项重要挑战。
