Notes:    

This table aims to present data on 17- to 18-year-old school students obtained from national surveys. Surveys marked ESPAD were carried out using ESPAD methods to varying degrees. The surveys for Belgium (Flemish) is the Flemish region only. In all of the school surveys the method for data collection was classroom based, anonymous, self-completion questionnaires in written test conditions.    

Caution is required comparing figures due to methodological limitations. For methods and definitions see [Methods and definitions - schools surveys].    

(a) Figures for Italy and Portugal are based on combined average prevalence for 17 and 18 year old students which does not allow for possible difference in sample size between the 2 ages groups.    

(b) LSD & other hallucinogens: includes LSD only.    

(c) Cocaine: cocaine powder only.    

(d) Heroin: opiates.
