NDACC has not had sufficient funds to undertake a national drug survey. However, our most recent research findings (taken from the Students Health Survey in Dangriga & Belize City, 1998) indicate that the drugs of choice amongst young people are alcohol (54%) and tobacco (11%), followed by marijuana (8%) and crack cocaine (1%).
