Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People, 2013

<p>The <i>Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People</i> surveys began in 1982, under the name Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren. The series initially aimed to provide national estimates of the proportion of secondary schoolchildren aged 11-15 who smoked, and to describe their smoking behaviour. Similar surveys were carried out every two years until 1998 to monitor trends in the prevalence of cigarette smoking. The survey then moved to an annual cycle, and questions on alcohol consumption and drug use were included. The name of the series changed to <span style="font-style: italic;">Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers</span> to reflect this widened focus. In 2000, the series title changed, to <span style="font-style: italic;">Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People. </span>NHS Digital (formerly the Information Centre for Health and Social Care) took over from the Department of Health as sponsors and publishers of the survey series from 2005. From 2014 onwards, the series changed to a biennial one, with no survey taking place in 2015, 2017 or 2019.</p><p>In some years, the surveys have been carried out in Scotland and Wales as well as England, to provide separate national estimates for these countries. In 2002, following a review of Scotland's future information needs in relation to drug misuse among schoolchildren, a separate Scottish series, <span style="font-style: italic;">Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey</span> (SALSUS) was established by the Scottish Executive.<br></p> The <i>Survey of Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People in England in 2013</i> is the latest in a series of surveys that measures the prevalence of smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol and illicit drug use among 11 to 15 year olds in England. The survey collects detailed prevalence data as well as associated contextual information, including relevant attitudes, beliefs and knowledge. As well as a core set of questions that are included every year, the questionnaire alternates its focus between smoking and drinking (every other year between 2000 and 2012) and drug taking (every other year between 2001 and 2013).

《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People）的前身为《中学生吸烟状况调查》（Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren），始于1982年。该系列调查最初旨在提供11至15岁中学生吸烟比例的全国性估算数据，并描述其吸烟行为特征。1998年前，该调查每两年开展一次，以监测卷烟吸烟率的变化趋势。此后调查转为年度周期，并新增了饮酒与药物使用相关的调研问题，为契合调研范围的拓展，系列名称变更为《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers）。2000年，该系列再次更名，采用《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People）这一名称。2005年起，NHS Digital（前身为卫生与社会保健信息中心）接替卫生部，成为该系列调查的主办与出版方。2014年起，系列调查再次转为两年一度的周期，2015、2017及2019年均未开展调查。
部分调查年份中，该系列除覆盖英格兰外，还同步在苏格兰与威尔士开展，以便为这两个地区提供独立的全国性估算数据。2002年，基于对苏格兰中学生药物滥用相关信息需求的评估，苏格兰行政院牵头设立了独立的苏格兰系列调查——《苏格兰中学生青少年生活方式与物质使用调查》（Scottish Schools Adolescent Lifestyle and Substance Use Survey，简称SALSUS）。
《2013年英格兰青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Survey of Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People in England in 2013）是该系列的最新一轮调查，旨在测算英格兰11至15岁青少年的卷烟吸烟率、饮酒率与非法药物流行率。该调查不仅收集详细的流行率数据，还采集相关的背景信息，包括青少年的相关态度、信念与认知水平。除了每年固定的核心问卷模块外，调查问卷的核心聚焦方向会交替调整：2000年至2012年间，每两年聚焦吸烟与饮酒主题；2001年至2013年间，每两年聚焦药物使用主题。
