Annotation:

Ontario Student Drug Use Survey (OSDUS) is an Ontario-wide school survey of students in grades 7 to 12. Topics covered include drug use, mental and physical health, and gambling behaviours. The 2003 sample size of 6,616 students represents about 970,000 students in grades 7 to 12 across the province. This eBulletin compares drug use among Ontario students to use among American students, with the latter estimates based on the 2003 Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF) conducted across the United States.
