    Background: The purpose of the study was to assess the prevalence of drug use in 15-16-year-old students in the region of Gorenjska, and to identify drug use trends over the past four years. Methods: ... The target population was students born in 1987 who answered the anonymous ESPAD questionnaire. The sample was representative of students of both sexes and of all types of secondary schools. The findings were compared with the results obtained by theESPAD survey, conducted in the Gorenjska region in 1999. Results: Alcohol and tobacco were found to be the most frequently used drugs. Sixty-nine per cent of 15-16-year-old students reported the use of tobacco, and 33% of them had smoked regularly in the past 30 days. Ninety-two-percent of respondents had consumed alcohol beverages in their lifetime; 73% were drunk, 29% of them in the past 30 days. The prevalence of lifetime marijuana use was 38%; 20.5% of respondents had used marijuana in the past 30 days. The prevalence of lifetime use of any illicit drug other than marijuana was 8%. The prevalence for use of inhalants was 20%, and for tranquillisers or sedatives obtained without a doctors prescription, 5%. Conclusion: The use of all drugs except tranquillisers increased over the past four years. The surveyed 15-16-year-oldstudents used drugs more often and larger amounts, and they wereyounger at first use. Higher proportions of users of most drugs were foundfor the Gorenjska region compared to the Slovene average. Gorenjska belonged to the ESPAD countries with a high percent of students reporting druguse. The drug problem should be tackled by informing a large proportion ofpopulation, especially the key stakeholders, about current trends in adolescent drug use.
