This pilot study assessed adolescent substance use in Hungary. While alcohol and tobacco were most common, attitudes suggest future drug use risk.

Area of Science:

  • Adolescent Health
  • Substance Use Research
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • Limited empirical data exists on drug and alcohol consumption patterns among Hungarian adolescents.
  • Assessing substance use in this demographic is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.
  • Understanding cultural nuances in substance use is vital for accurate measurement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and adapt reliable instrumentation for assessing legal and illegal substance use among Hungarian youth.
  • To pilot test a Hungarian version of the American Drug and Alcohol Survey.
  • To gather preliminary data on substance use behaviors and attitudes in a Hungarian adolescent population.

Main Methods:

  • A Hungarian translation of the American Drug and Alcohol Survey was created and culturally adapted.

  • The adapted survey was administered to 234 students (Grades 8 and 11) in Györ, Hungary (1991-1992).
  • Data analysis focused on substance use prevalence, age, and gender differences.

    • Main Results:

    • Reported use was primarily limited to alcohol and tobacco among surveyed adolescents.
    • Older students (Grade 11) showed higher engagement with alcohol and cigarettes compared to younger students (Grade 8).
    • While alcohol initiation was similar between genders, males reported higher instances of drunkenness.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed survey is a viable tool for assessing adolescent substance use in Hungary.
    • Despite low current reported use of illicit substances, concerning attitudes indicate potential future "at-risk" behaviors.
    • Further research is needed to monitor trends and inform prevention efforts for Hungarian youth.
