“…There is evidence that perceiving substance use as harmful is negatively correlated with substance use [30–34]. Heavy drinking among youth has also been linked to lower school grades and truancy [35,36].…”

Aim To (i) examine several factors associated with trends in heavy episodic drinking (HED) in Finland, Norway and Sweden, (ii) investigate similarities in these associations across the countries and (iii) analyse the contribution of these factors to the trend in HED and the differences across the countries. Design and Setting Observational study using five waves of the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD) from Finland, Norway and Sweden between 1999 and 2015. Participants A total of 18 128 male and 19 121 female 15‐ to 16‐year‐old students. Measurements Monthly HED, perceived access to alcohol, truancy, parental control, leisure time activities and daily smoking. The Cochran–Armitage test was used to examine linear time trends in HED. Logit regression models using the Karlson–Holm–Breen (KHB) method were fitted for each country separately, including all the independent variables together with time and adjusted for family status, parental education and gender. Findings In Finland, Norway and Sweden, perceived access to alcohol, truancy and daily smoking decreased significantly between 1999 and 2015 whereas risk perceptions, parental control and participation in sports increased in the same period. The confounding percentage of all the independent variables related to the trend in HED was 48.8%, 68.9% and 36.7% for Finland, Norway and Sweden, respectively. Decline in daily smoking (P < 0.001) and perceived access to alcohol (P < 0.001) were positively and increase in parental control (P < 0.001) negatively associated with the decline in HED in all three countries. Changes in truancy, going out with friends, and engaging in sports and other hobbies had little or no impact on the decline in HED or displayed no consistent results across the countries. Conclusions The decline in adolescent heavy episodic drinking in Finland, Norway and Sweden between 1999 and 2015 appears to be associated with a decline in adolescent daily smoking and perceived access to alcohol and an increase in parental control.

“…Risk perception may essentially affect alcohol consumption and binge drinking. Bujalski and Sierosławski [49] have analysed changes in perceived risk and general trends regarding alcohol consumption between 1995 and 2015 among Polish students compared to youth from other European countries (i.e. Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Sweden, Italy and Ukraine).…”

“…Postrzeganie ryzyka związanego z piciem alkoholu może zasadniczo wpływać na częstotliwość spożywania alkoholu i epizodów upijania się. Bujalski i Sierosławski [49] przeanalizowali zmiany w postrzeganym ryzyku i ogólnych trendach dotyczących picia alkoholu w latach 1995-2015 wśród polskich uczniów, w porównaniu z młodzieżą z innych krajów europejskich (tj. z Czech, Danii, Francji, Szwecji, Włoch i Ukrainy).…”

“…The results of these studies are important in the perspective of developing future prevention programmes at universities. Bujalski and Sierosławski [49] emphasise that an understanding of the impact and role of risk perception is one of the most important factors in the effectiveness of alcohol prevention especially for the young.…”
