Description

The main purpose of this survey was to monitor smoking, drinking and drug use amongst secondary school children aged 11-15. Information was obtained from more than 7,000 pupils in 225 schools throughout England and Wales during the autumn term of 2000. Key findings include: 10% of this group smoked at least one cigarette a week, which represents a marginal increase on the 1999 figure; 12% of girls were regular smokers compared to 9% of boys; 18% of 11-15 year olds usually had an alcohol drink at least weekly, a figure that has remained fairly steady in recent years; pupils had a high awareness level of illegal drugs with 61% having been offered drugs by the age of 15 years.
