Consumer Search was commissioned by Narcotics Division, Security Bureau of HKSARG to conduct the "2008/09 Survey of Drug Use among Students" during 08/09 school year.

 

The Survey aims to collect the latest trends on student drug abuse in Hong Kong, and seeks to identify the pattern of drug abuse and related characteristics for assessing the risks of student drug abuse. This information will facilitate the Narcotics Division, concerned bureaus and departments to formulate anti-drug policies and measures that would better meet the actual needs.

 

On an anonymous basis, the Survey collected questionnaires from about 158,000 students, covering all post-secondary institutions and about 100 primary and secondary schools, or about 20% of the total student population of Hong Kong. The scale of the Survey is one of the largest compared to similar surveys in other places.
