Notes: Perceived availability: Perceived availability of cannabis is the percentage of students answering 'very easy' or 'fairly easy' (in the 6 point scale) to the question 'How difficult do you think is would be for you to get cannabis, if you wanted?' Use 40+ times: in ESPAD surveys during lifetime. Comparison between males and females for Use 40+ times is limited, because numbers are often too small to be statistically significant. (b) ESPAD 2003 Germany figures are based in six regions only (Bavaria, Brandenburg, Berlin, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Thuringia). Turkey figures are based on one major city in each of 6 different regions (Adana, Ankara, Diyarbakir, Istanbul, Izmir and Samsun). (c) This school surveys make use of the ESPAD questionnaire. ESPAD methods are adopted to varying degrees. Sources: See [Table EYE-0] |
