New explorer tool offers access to data on substance use among adolescents

Today, the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) launched a new data explorer tool, allowing access to over 20 years of ESPAD data on substance use among 15-16-year-old students. Of the EaP countries, the website presents data from Georgia and Ukraine.

ESPAD is the largest cross-national research project on adolescent substance use in the world, bringing together independent research teams in over 40 European countries.

The new tool, promoted by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), offers a unique overview of data on young people, substance use and risk behaviours in Europe between 1995 and 2019. 

The purpose of the tool is to make ESPAD data available to a wide range of interested stakeholders, from the general population, journalists and teachers to prevention experts and scientists.
