A follow-up study on schoolchildren in Greenland was conducted in order to evaluate the effect of intervention programmes from 1990 on substance abuse. Questionnaires were completed anonymously by 75% of a total of 2692 pupils aged 12 to 19 years. The substances in question were tobacco, cannabis, alcohol and solvents or other substances for sniffing. Thirty-one percent of the Danish boys and 46% of the Greenlandic boys were tobacco smokers compared to 49% of the Danish girls and 53% of the Greenlandic girls. Eighty-nine percent of the Danish and 63% of the Greenlandic pupils had experienced drinking alcohol. Nine percent of the Danish pupils and 19% of the Greenlandic pupils had tried sniffing. Twenty-five percent of the Greenlandic pupils and 30% of the Danish pupils had tried cannabis. Seventeen percent of all pupils were current users of cannabis. The patterns of substance abuse in Greenlandic girls changed from 1990 through 1992, in that the prevalence of smoking tobacco, smoking cannabis and sniffing decreased. However, the smoking of cigarettes and cannabis must still be considered a major health problem. Continuing surveys of substance abuse among schoolchildren is recommended.
为评估1990年干预项目对药物滥用的影响，对格陵兰的学童进行了一项跟踪研究。在2692名12至19岁的学生中，75%的学生匿名填写了问卷。所涉及的药物有烟草、大麻、酒精、溶剂或其他用于吸食的物质。丹麦男孩中有31%吸烟，格陵兰男孩中有46%吸烟；相比之下，丹麦女孩中有49%吸烟，格陵兰女孩中有53%吸烟。89%的丹麦学生和63%的格陵兰学生有饮酒经历。9%的丹麦学生和19%的格陵兰学生尝试过吸食。25%的格陵兰学生和30%的丹麦学生尝试过大麻。17%的学生目前吸食大麻。1990年至1992年期间，格陵兰女孩的药物滥用模式发生了变化，吸烟、吸食大麻和吸食的比例有所下降。然而，吸烟和吸食大麻仍被视为主要的健康问题。建议继续对学童中的药物滥用情况进行调查。
