Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the long-run changes in tobacco, alcohol and other drug use of secondary school children based on the ESPAD surveys (European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs) between 1995–2015 in international comparison. The second part of the paper discusses the effects of different socio-demographic factors (gender, school type settlement of school, parent’s education level and family structure). Finally, we examine the effects of other risk and protective factors (leisure time activities, family and peer-group integration) on substance use of the young.
