Alcohol use among 15- to 16-year-olds remains high in Malta but continues a trend of decline observed since 2003.
This is one of the major findings of the European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs (ESPAD), an international study that gathers data related to substances (alcohol, cigarettes and other drugs) and other potentially addictive behaviours (social media use, gaming and gambling).
ESPAD is coordinated in Malta by the Foundation for Social Welfare Services (FSWS). The project first started in 1995 and the last set of data was collected from students in 2019, providing data spanning 24 years.
Data is collected every four years from 15- to 16-year-old students using an anonymous questionnaire. In 2019, just under 100,000 students participated in the study on a European level.
