<jats:p> THE level of alcohol, tobacco, solvent and drug use by 1882 school children aged between 14 and 15 years within Pontefract Health District was examined by means of a questionnaire. Alcohol and tobacco use was relatively high, and comparable to similar studies elsewhere. The use of substances other than alcohol and tobacco was reported by a much lower percentage. Behavioural factors associated with sub stance use were examined, and implications for health education suggested. </jats:p>
