Australian secondary student smoking behaviours

Beginning in 1984, this survey obtains prevalence estimates of tobacco smoking among secondary schoolchildren throughout Australia at three-yearly intervals. The survey also obtains prevalence estimates of secondary students' use of alcohol, and since 1996, use of illicit substances and non-prescription pain killers.

The report from the most recent survey, conducted in 2017, is available from the Department of  Health . For other reports and research output from this project, follow the link below.
