Résumé :
The Inter-American Observatory on Drugs has published a comparative analysis of drug use among high school students in 13 Caribbean countries. This report, the second of its kind from the OAS, relies on data that was collected through the use of standardized surveys among school students in the participating member states. The report describes the patterns of drug use among students in this region including the most widely consumed substances, access to drugs, perception of harm, and harmful use of drugs among other results. The report shows how patterns of drug use are different between male and female students with respect to prevalence, age of first use and other important indicators. Comparisons with previous studies indicate that the perception of harm of marijuana is lower while marijuana prevalence has increased; cigarette smoking continues to be relatively low; alcohol consumption remains high among students and binge drinking was significantly high among students in several countries; the use of inhalants continues to be high with higher prevalence rates reported by female students.
