Adolescent substance use and risk behaviours in the Mediterranean Region
Fourth MedSPAD regional report
Elisa Benedetti, Rodolfo Cotichini, Sabrina Molinaro
Council of Europe
Livre numérique
How do adolescents behave in the Mediterranean in terms of substance use
patterns and risk behaviours? The work of MedSPAD, the Mediterranean School
Survey on Alcohol and other Drugs, attempts to answer this question.
This publication, carried out within the framework of the Pompidou Group’s
Mediterranean Network on Drugs and Addiction, also provides information on
socio-economic and drug policies around the region. The extensive comparison
reveals a heterogeneous situation.Then, in a fresh analysis, this book
presents new data from 11 Mediterranean countries on school-age youths’
interactions with selected substances and behaviours. It features an
examination of early-onset behaviours, perceived substance availability and
the prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, high-risk cannabis and other drug use,
along with – as a newly added highlight of the survey methodology developed
for this study – gambling, gaming and social media habits.
Conducting the survey itself constituted an innovative step in the collection
of these data, requiring training of local personnel to implement valid and
reliable survey methods in schools and further analysis. This is the first
time such a dataset from different countries has been compiled and analysed in
this way, providing unprecedented insight into the drugs and addiction
situation among youths at a regional scale.
