Focus on adolescent substance use and risk behaviours in Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. E-book. Formato EPUB Elisa Benedetti - Council Of Europe, 2026 -
For the first time, a regional lens reveals the realities of substance use and risk behaviours among Mediterranean adolescents, offering unprecedented insights to guide prevention and policy. What are the substance use patterns and risk behaviours among Mediterranean adolescents? This is precisely what the Mediterranean School Survey on Alcohol and Other Drugs (MedSPAD) study aims to investigate, providing valuable insights for policy and prevention efforts. This publication, developed within the framework of the Mediterranean Network on Drugs and Addiction of the Council of Europe International Co-operation Group on Drugs and Addictions (Pompidou Group), focuses on MedSPAD results from Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. It offers a detailed analysis of commonalities and differences across the southern Mediterranean region, examining early-onset behaviours, perceived substance availability and the prevalence of alcohol, nicotine, cannabis and other drug use. Additionally, as a newly introduced aspect of the survey methodology, it explores gambling, gaming and social media habits. To ensure a meaningful interpretation of the MedSPAD results, this study also provides a comprehensive analysis of the policy framework related to each topic, alongside an examination of the individual and environmental factors associated with substance use and risk behaviours among adolescent students. For the first time, it also assesses the impact of MedSPAD in each participating country. Conducting the study itself represents a significant and innovative effort, requiring the training of local personnel to implement valid, reliable and comparable school-based survey data collection in each country. This is the first time such data have been compiled and analysed in this way, offering unprecedented insight into substance use and addiction among young people on a regional scale.
Adolescent substance use and risk behaviours in the Mediterranean RegionFourth MedSPAD regional report. E-book. Formato EPUB Elisa Benedetti - Council Of Europe, 2022 -
How do adolescents behave in the Mediterranean in terms of substance use patterns and risk behaviours? The work of MedSPAD, the Mediterranean School Survey on Alcohol and other Drugs, attempts to answer this question.This publication, carried out within the framework of the Pompidou Group’s Mediterranean Network on Drugs and Addiction, also provides information on socio-economic and drug policies around the region. The extensive comparison reveals a heterogeneous situation.Then, in a fresh analysis, this book presents new data from 11 Mediterranean countries on school-age youths’ interactions with selected substances and behaviours. It features an examination of early-onset behaviours, perceived substance availability and the prevalence of alcohol, tobacco, high-risk cannabis and other drug use, along with – as a newly added highlight of the survey methodology developed for this study – gambling, gaming and social media habits.Conducting the survey itself constituted an innovative step in the collection of these data, requiring training of local personnel to implement valid and reliable survey methods in schools and further analysis. This is the first time such a dataset from different countries has been compiled and analysed in this way, providing unprecedented insight into the drugs and addiction situation among youths at a regional scale.
