Description

The Alcohol and Drug Survey is a study conducted by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare that collects information on the attitudes and opinions of Finnish people aged 15–69 regarding drugs and other substances, as well as on the use of various substances. The survey examines, for example, the use of illicit drugs, misuse of medicines, alcohol consumption, smoking, polysubstance use, and attitudes toward and harmful experiences related to substance use. Since 2010, the survey has also included questions concerning the use of doping substances. The Alcohol and Drug Survey is conducted every four years, and the first survey was carried out in 1992. Data have been archived in FSD since 2014. The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare conducts the survey in collaboration with Statistics Finland and the Finnish Youth Research Society.
