Smoking, Drinking, Drug Use And Sexual Health
Among Schoolchildren In The Western Isles
During 2000, the Western Isles Alcohol, Drug and Smoking Action
Team and the Western Isles Sexual Health Committee commissioned
the Drug Misuse Information Strategy Team, based at the ISD Scotland in Edinburgh, to carry out a survey of pupils
in years three and four in the five secondary schools across the
Islands. The survey was to examine the current prevalence of drinking,
smoking and drug use among these pupils as well as establishing
their views and knowledge on a range of sexual health issues. The
survey would allow for data to be collected on current levels of
substance misuse as well as highlight changes in patterns of use
from the earlier survey in 1994.
