Abstract
This paper examines trends in the prevalence of drug use among Canadian adolescent students during the past decade. Canadian surveys clearly show a dominant pattern of declining drug use during the 1977 to 1980 period. Several issues regarding these findings are discussed, including reasons for declining use and the future of drug use among Canadian adolescents.Keywords
