Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers, 1998; England and Scotland

<P>Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.</P><p>The <i>Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People</i>&nbsp;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.&nbsp;</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>&nbsp;(SALSUS) was established by the Scottish Executive.<br></p><br>For the 1998 survey, the coverage of smoking issues was further reduced, in order to include a number of questions about drug use. Questions about the smoking behaviour of family members were dropped from the English survey in order to accommodate these, but were still asked in Scotland, where the drug use questions were restricted to actual drug use only. The questions dropped from the English survey were, however, included in the corresponding HEA <i>Teenage Smoking Attitudes Survey, 1998</i> (held at the Archive under SN 4120).<br>

A new Scottish file with a number of extra schedule variables and derived variables was deposited in October 2000 to replace the original. Please see read file for further details.<br><br><B>Main Topics</B>:<BR><br>There are two datasets for this study, one for England and one for Scotland. The datasets include variables from the questionnaire, diary and cotinine analysis. Topics covered in the questionnaire include: demographic details, smoking behaviour, the purchase of cigarettes in shops and other outlets, parental attitudes to smoking, family smoking behaviour (asked in Scotland only), alcohol use and consumption in previous week, actual drug use (both surveys), attitudes to drug use (asked in England only), and health education lessons at school. For the diary, pupils were asked to record by retrospective recall all cigarettes smoked in the previous seven days.

《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People）系列调查始于1982年，最初名称为《中学生吸烟状况调查》（Smoking among Secondary Schoolchildren）。该系列初始目标为针对11至15岁中学生的吸烟比例提供全国性估算，并描述其吸烟行为。直至1998年，该类调查每两年开展一次，用于监测吸烟流行趋势的变化。此后调查转为年度周期，并新增了饮酒行为与药物使用相关的调研问题。为反映研究范围的拓展，该系列调查更名为《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young Teenagers）。2000年，系列名称再次调整为《青少年吸烟、饮酒与药物使用调查》（Smoking, Drinking and Drug Use among Young People）。2005年起，NHS数字（NHS Digital，前身为健康与社会护理信息中心）接替卫生部，成为本系列调查的资助方与出版方。2014年起，调查转为两年一次，2015、2017及2019年均未开展调查。

部分年份中，调查除覆盖英格兰外，还在苏格兰与威尔士开展，以分别提供这两个地区的独立全国性估算数据。2002年，基于对苏格兰在校儿童药物滥用相关未来信息需求的评估，苏格兰行政院设立了独立的苏格兰系列调查：《苏格兰学校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）。

1998年的调查为纳入多项药物使用相关问题，进一步缩减了吸烟议题的覆盖范围。英格兰地区的调查移除了关于家庭成员吸烟行为的问题以腾出问卷空间，但苏格兰地区仍保留了该类问题，且苏格兰的药物使用问题仅限定于实际药物使用情况。不过，英格兰地区移除的上述问题被纳入了同期的HEA《1998年青少年吸烟态度调查》（存档编号SN 4120）中。

2000年10月，一份新增了若干问卷变量与衍生变量的新版苏格兰数据集被提交归档，以替代原始数据集。详细信息请参阅对应说明文件。

**核心主题**：
本研究包含两份数据集，分别对应英格兰与苏格兰地区。数据集涵盖问卷、日记及可替宁分析（cotinine analysis）相关变量。问卷涉及的内容包括：人口统计学细节、吸烟行为、在商店及其他售卖点购买香烟的情况、父母对吸烟的态度、家庭成员吸烟行为（仅苏格兰地区调研）、过去一周的饮酒行为与摄入量、实际药物使用情况（两份调查均覆盖）、对药物使用的态度（仅英格兰地区调研），以及在校健康教育课程情况。在日记调研环节中，要求学生通过回顾性回忆记录过去7天内吸食的所有香烟。
