Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS): national overview 2018
Overview of findings on alcohol, drug use and smoking from the 2018 wave of the Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey (SALSUS).
Multiple Substance Use
A large majority of pupils do not take any substances regularly, 77% of 15 year olds and 93% of 13 year olds.
A small proportion, however, do take all three substances (not simultaneous use) regularly, 3% of 15 year olds and 1% of 13 year olds.
