Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Differences in drug use between college and high school students in Canada and those in the United States are examined, based on data from several surveys. The college data are based on the 1998 Canadian Campus Survey (CCS) and the Monitoring the Future (MTF) Study conducted in the United States. The high school data are derived from the Ontario Student Drug Use Survey (OSDUS) and the MTF. Findings from the data on college student in 1998 show similar levels of use of crack cocaine, heroin, and hallucinogens other than lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Use of cannabis, cocaine hydrochloride (HCl), LSD, and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) was higher among college students in the United States than in Canada. Comparisons between 8th, 10th, and 12th graders in Ontario and the United States in 1999 show that similar percentages of students used 6 of 10 drugs - cannabis, crack cocaine, crystal methamphetamine ("ice"), heroin, MDMA, and phencyclidine (PCP). The use of cocaine HCl and methamphetamine other than ice was higher among students in the United States, whereas use of LSD and other hallucinogens was more prevalent among Ontario students.
