Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Aim: This paper describes the findings from a survey of self-reported alcohol, tobacco and drug use among 721 school students aged 15 and 16 years living on the Isle of Man. Design: This venture was part of the 2003 European School Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs, an international survey in 35 countries. Setting and participants: School survey of whole population aged 15 years (n=721) on the Isle of Man. Measurement: Three hundred and eighty core item questionnaire. Findings: Over 95% of all respondents had consumed alcohol at some point during their lifetime and 78% had experienced being drunk. Twenty-two per cent had smoked cigarettes on more than 40 occasions, with girls much more likely than boys to smoke. Around 40% had tried an illicit drug at some time, mainly cannabis. Conclusions: Binge drinking and tobacco use in Manx teenagers, especially young women, needs careful monitoring and clearly requires a vigorous public health response. (Author' s abstract)
