TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Alcohol and drug use among medical students 1995: more than every tenth male student had hazardous alcohol drinking habits JO - Lakartidningen A1 - Borschos, B. A1 - Kühlhorn, E. A1 - Rydberg, U. SP - 3253 EP - 3258 VL - 96 IS - 28-29 N2 - During the spring of 1995, 734 medical students at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm were randomly selected for inclusion in a postal questionnaire study of alcohol and drug habits. The response rate was over 80 per cent. Although both the level of alcohol consumption and the prevalence of hazardous consumption were lower than the corresponding figures for students at Stockholm and Uppsala Universities, 12 per cent of the male and four per cent of the female medical students were considered to be at risk of alcohol problems. About seven per cent of the medical students reported having used illegal drugs such as hashish, marijuana and cocaine during the past 12-month period, and about nine per cent to have used sedative and/or hypnotic drugs.
