Just under 10,000 pupils in 313 schools in England completed questionnaires in the autumn term of 2004. The main report on the survey will be published in autumn 2005. The survey is the most recent in a series that began in 1982. Some of the headline figures from 2004 have been revised since the original publication on 9th March 2005 (see note 12).
The preliminary key findings for 2004 data are set out below.
Nine percent of pupils aged 11-15 were regular smokers in 2004, the same proportion as in 2003 and a decrease from 10% in 2002. The proportion of pupils who drank in the last week was 23% in 2004, a decrease from 25% in 2003. Eighteen percent of pupils had taken drugs in the last year in 2004, down from 21% in 2003. Ten percent of pupils had taken drugs in the last month in 2004, a decrease from 12% in 2003.
