Environmental factors and frequent marijuana use in 11 ESPAD countries
Aim: To investigate the influence of contextual factors to marijuana use in the lifetime and 10 times or more by gender. Methods: Data on students 15-16 were drawn from the 2003 ESPAD survey from 11 countries: Denmark, Estonia, Norway, Croatia, Slovenia, Germany, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Czeck Republic, Russian Fedration and Ukraine. Multivariate analysis was performed. Results: Availability and friends who use marijuana were strong predictors of frequant marijuana use for both genders in all eleven countries. The strongest influence of availablity for boys was found for Slovenia, Norway nad Bulgaria (Slovenian boys OR 19.3, girls 19.0). Friends who use marijuana were the strongest predictor for boys and girls in 5 countries, while availability had the strongest predictor in 5 countries for girls. For Croatian adolescents the strongest predictor was regular smoking (boys OR 9.4 ; girls 9.1 ; CI=95%). Parental control, family structure, school performance and alcohol use were not connected to frequent marijuana use. The influence of environmental factors was similar regardless the marijuana use prevalence in the respective country. Conclusion: The influence of peer group and availability seemed more important at that age than parental control and family structure. The findings indicate imprtant factors which should be taken into account while planning and implementing preventive programme.
