Substance Use

Substance Use (SU) assesses self-reported frequency of alcohol, cigarettes, and/or drugs consumption.

In RADAR Young waves 1 to 6 and RADAR Old waves 5-9, 13 items were used. In RADAR Young wave 7 and 8, and RADAR Old waves 10 and 11, the items "How often did you drink alcohol in the past 4 weeks?" and " How often did you have more than 6 glasses of alcohol in the past 4 weeks?" were no longer included; instead items "On how many weekdays/ weekend days in the past 4 weeks did you drink alcohol (glasses, bottles or cans)", "On days that you drink, how much alcohol" were included. Items assessing the first age of substance use such as "How old were you, when you had your first glass of alcohol?/ smoked your first cigarette/ used weed or hash for the first time" and frequency of gambling such as "How often do you gamble (slots, casino and online)?" were added. From wave 9 (RADAR Young) and wave 12 (Radar Old) onwards, the items "Have you smoked cigarettes in the past 2 years", "Have you ever used weed/marijuana or hash?" were added.
