Beginning in 1984, this survey has obtained prevalence estimates of tobacco smoking among secondary school children throughout Australia at three-yearly intervals. The survey also obtains prevalence estimates of secondary students' use of alcohol, since 1996, use of illicit substances and non-prescription pain killers and, since 2014, use of e-cigarettes and vaping products.
The report from the most recent survey round, conducted in 2022/2023, is available from the Department of Health. For other reports and research output from this project, follow the link below.
