They were applied by 6 trained students. Comparisons of proportions were made with the square CHI test. Comparing prevalencies of users in 2010 significantly increased in 2015 vs 2010 and inter schools differences in these prevalencies were maintained. Excluding alcohol, tobacco and cannabis a proportion of high risk users of other addictivie and 2015 a 5.4% increase was found for alcohol, 1.5 times for tobacco, 2.9 times for cannabinoids, 26 times for anphetaminics, 6.8 times for hallucinatory substances, 2.2 times for cocaine and a similar prevalence for sedatives.
