To examine patterns of self reported drinking, smoking, and illicit drug use among a representative United Kingdom sample of people born in 1979.
Cross sectional, single phase survey based on a stratified cluster sample of 70 United Kingdom secondary schools during March and April 1995. Pupils completed a 406 item standardised questionnaire under examination conditions.
United Kingdom state and private secondary schools.
7722 pupils aged 15 and 16.
Reported use of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs.
Almost all the pupils had drunk alcohol, 36% (2772/7689) had smoked cigarettes in the past 30 days, and 42.3% (3264/7722) had at some time used illicit drugs, mainly cannabis. 43% (1546/3546) of boys and 38% (1529/4009) of girls had tried cannabis. Higher levels of smoking were associated with poorer school performance (20.4% (783/3840) with average performance v 44.1% (214/486) with below average performance, F = 79.06, P < 0.01). Levels of drug use in 15 and 16 year olds in 1995 were higher in Scotland than in England, Wales, or Northern Ireland.
Drug experimentation was high among 15 and 16 year olds, and use of cannabis was particularly high among smokers. Cigarette smoking was more common among girls than boys.
调查1979年出生的具有代表性的英国人群中自我报告的饮酒、吸烟及非法药物使用模式。
1995年3月和4月，基于英国70所中学的分层整群抽样进行横断面单阶段调查。学生们在考试环境下完成一份406项的标准化问卷。
英国国立和私立中学。
7722名15岁和16岁的学生。
报告的酒精、烟草和非法药物使用情况。
几乎所有学生都饮酒，36%（2772/7689）在过去30天内吸烟，42.3%（3264/7722）曾使用过非法药物，主要是大麻。43%（1546/3546）的男孩和38%（1529/4009）的女孩尝试过大麻。吸烟率较高与学业成绩较差相关（平均成绩者为20.4%（783/3840），低于平均成绩者为44.1%（214/486），F = 79.06，P < 0.01）。1995年，15岁和16岁青少年的药物使用率在苏格兰高于英格兰、威尔士或北爱尔兰。
15岁和16岁青少年的药物试验率较高，吸烟者中大麻使用率尤其高。吸烟在女孩中比在男孩中更常见。
