The Higher Education Alcohol and Drug Survey (HEADS) - findings from Year 2

• In Event: Poster Session II

Abstract

Over the last ten years there has been a worldwide expansion of research on drug use among university students. However, this trend has been less noticeable in the United Kingdom (UK). The Higher Education Alcohol and Drug (HEAD) Survey (an on-line survey distributed to students registered at universities in Wales, UK) was designed to address this gap in knowledge. In this poster we present results from Year 2 of the HEAD survey, which in addition to drug and alcohol use, also examined patterns of victimisation, offending behaviour, and gambling. The poster provides information about the prevalence of these behaviours and about relationships between them.
