| Research Abstract |
About 32,000 students, from 49 high schools as fixed points, participated in the survey in 2011 and 2013 respectively for a nationwide follow-up study. The questionnaire asked about drug abuse, smoking, drinking and lifestyle. Between the two years, the rates (%) of lifetime drug abuse (any use thinner, stimulant, marijuana or MDMA), annual smoking and annual drinking had decreased (0.63 to 0.51, 5.3 to 3.6 and 40.0 to 30.6 respectively). The lifestyle factors related to these risk behaviors such as "enjoying life in school", "state of participation of extracurricular activities", "hours spent in the absence of adults" and "talking with parents about worries" had shown the changes to the protective direction, excluding "frequency of breakfast intake" and "hours worked in a paid job" being a high risk factor.
As conclusion, it is suggested that among high school students, making drinking and/or smoking a habit in their lifestyle is a high risk factor to drug abuse.
