Résumé :
Objective : To investigate drug use among secondary schoolchildren aged 14-18 years in the city of Szeged in Hungary in order to observe and describe drug use, smoking and alcohol intake and to find risk factors for these behaviours. Methods : The questionnaire was concerned with recreational drug use, smoking and drinking habits as well as family structure and life-style based upon the European School Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs questionnaire. Statistical methods used were the 2 test and multiple logistic regression analysis. The standard errors were estimated using the Huber-White procedure. Results : Overall 20% of schoolchildren reported experience of drug usage. Boys were significantly more likely to report drug use than girls (2 = 4.65; p = 0.031). Cannabis was the most commonly reported drug used (96%). The proportion of drug users was significantly higher among those who had smoked (13%) or were current smokers (65%) compared to those who never smoked (1%; 2 = 164.7 ; p < 0.001). Moreover, the risk of drug use was significantly higher in those children who reported a drug user in the family (OR 9.3 ; 95% CI 4.3-19.9 ; p < 0.001). Conclusions : Our findings support the hypothesis that strategies for the prevention of drug use should consider the association between drug and tobacco use.
