“…College students have deserved attention because they suffer serious consequences resulting from illicit drug use or the use of a combination of drugs such as alcohol use with tobacco, marijuana and cocaine. 1,6,10,[13][14][15] According to epidemiological studies conducted in the United States, about 30% of college students reported tobacco use in the preceding 30 days -a high rate considering the information available on the risks of smoking-, about 20% or less reported using marijuana, and less than 2% reported using cocaine. 6 The First Nationwide Survey on the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs among college students carried out in 27 Brazilian state capitals e showed that 48.7% of students reported using illicit drugs in their lifetime.…”

OBJECTIVE:To analyze drug use trends among college students in 1996, 2001 and 2009. METHODS:A cross-sectional epidemiological study with a multistage stratifi ed cluster sample with 9,974 college students was conducted in the city of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was used to collect information on drug use assessed in lifetime, the preceding 12 months and the preceding 30 days. The Bonferroni correction was used for multiple comparisons of drug use rates between surveys. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:Over the 13-year study period, there was an increase in lifetime use of tobacco, hallucinogens, amphetamines, and tranquilizers. There was an increase in amphetamine use and a reduction in alcohol use during the preceding 12 months. There was an increase in amphetamine use during the preceding 30 days.

In 2005 werd in de Antwerpse studentengemeenschap een grootschalig onderzoek verricht naar het middelengebruik en daarmee samenhangende aspecten. Alhoewel er over het algemeen zeker geen dramatisch beeld mag worden geschetst, wijzen sommige bevindingen op risicogebruik bij een aantal studenten. Op grond van de onderzoeksresultaten doen we enkele suggesties op het vlak van preventie en hulpverlening waarbij de klemtoon, naast omgevingsgerichte maatregelen, ligt op informatieverstrekking en vroege interventie. InleidingHet studentenleven wordt vaak geassocieerd met middelengebruik, met als typische uitingen het alcoholgebruik bij studentikoze activiteiten, het recreatief drugsgebruik en het gebruik van stimulerende en sedatieve medicatie om de examens door te komen. Walters en Baer (2006) geven dit cliché treffend weer voor alcoholgebruik: 'College students drink. No matter how you slice it, most people would agree with some version of that statement.' Maar klopt dit beeld wel met de werkelijkheid? Om dat na te gaan, werd in de Associatie Universiteit en Hogescholen Antwerpen (AUHA) een grootschalige bevraging uitgevoerd door vier organisaties die actief zijn in onderzoek en/of preventie. Doel van het onderzoek was zicht te krijgen op het middelen-* Drs. J. Rosiers is stafmedewerker bij de Vereniging voor Alcohol-en andere Drugproblemen (VAD) te Brussel.
