Notes:

 This table presents data on 15- to 16-year-old school students obtained from ESPAD surveys. 

 Caution is required comparing figures due to methodological limitations. For methods and definitions see Methods and definitions: youth and the schools population. 

 (1) ESPAD 2003 Germany figures are based on six regions only (Bavaria, Brandenburg, Berlin, Hesse, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Thuringia). Turkey figures are based on one major city in each of six different regions (Adana, Ankara, Diyarbakir, Istanbul, Izmir and Samsun). 

 (2) Data included in 1995 ESPAD report but not strictly comparable (based on an earlier survey). 

 (3) LSD and other hallucinogens: includes LSD only. 

  n.a.: not available.
