Zusammenfassung: | We present the findings from four cross-sectional trend surveys, conducted between 1977 und 1983, intended to monitor the prevalence of alcohol and drug use among students enrolled in grades 7,9, 11 and 13 in Ontario. Between 1981 and 1983 the non-medical use of stimulants increased significantly; use of several illicit substances achieved a wider acceptability among older male students; finally, a decline in the prevalence, but not frequency, of cannabis use was suggested. Cette étude donne les résultats de quatre enquêtes conduites en échantillons, entre 1977 et 1983, pour découvrir la prédominance d'usage d'alcool et d'autres drogues parmi des étudiant(e)s des grades 7, 9, 11 et 13 en Ontario. Entre 1981 et 1983, on a trouvé que l'usage non-médical des stimulants a augmenté de façon significative; en plus l'usage de plusieurs substances illicites est devenu plus accepté parmi les étudiants plus âgés; finalement, il y avait moins de prédominance, mais pas moins de fréquence, d'usage du cannabis. |
