TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Alcohol and drug use by students from western Canada in grades 6 through 12 (1992): have there been any changes over the past five years? JO - International journal of the addictions A1 - Hindmarsh, K. W. A1 - Porter-Serviss, S. A1 - Opheim, E. E. SP - 829 EP - 835 VL - 29 IS - 7 N2 - Over 8,000 students in Grades 6 through 12, from Western Canada and the North West Territories were surveyed for the prevalence of licit and illicit drug use over a 1-year period ending June 30, 1992. The results were compared with three previous studies dating back to just over 5 years. While there was a slight decline between 1987 and 1990, the present study reveals a slight reverse in this trend. These results emphasize the need for continued education and perhaps the need for determining the reasons for use by this age group.
