Adolescent drug use in Wales
British Journal of Addiction February 1, 1992 Christopher Smith, Don Nutbeam 45 citations
Just over a fifth of 15-16-year-olds in Wales report having tried drugs at some time, while a tenth say they have done so within the past month. The most frequently reported substances were marijuana, solvents and glue, and psilocybin. Few young people reported multiple or regular drug use. Drug use prevalence was higher among pupils from single-parent families, and more boys than girls reported using psilocybin. The reliability and validity of self-report data are discussed, along with implications for health education programs.
