Many studies have shown that different risk or problem behaviors in adolescence are interrelated. Given the increased use of various substances among adolescents in the United States and in most European countries, the question emerges whether there are more substance use 'specialists' or a progression of a general substance use pattern. If the latter is the case, the interrelatedness of the different substances should remain stable over time in a representative sample and among subgroups characterized by gender and language. Data from 4,146 15-year-olds in Switzerland surveyed in 1986, 1994 and 1998 were analyzed, using confirmatory factor analyses based on polychoric correlations. Smoking, drunkenness and cannabis use greatly increased over the 12-year period. However, in the different survey years, the factor structure did not differ for all 15-year-olds in general or for subgroups. This progression of a general pattern refers to an increased normalization of recreational substance use in general, not only of cannabis use. Favorable attitudes towards general substance use are a challenge to substance use prevention in adolescence, and reveal a need for more research on such a progression in other countries.

Zusammenfassung. Aufmerksam für die Belange der eigenen Gesundheit zu sein, kann als Grundvoraussetzung der Prävention gesundheitsgefährdenden Verhaltens angesehen werden. Jedoch kann unter anderem aufgrund des gestiegenen Substanzkonsums unter Jugendlichen angenommen werden, dass die Besorgnis um die eigene Gesundheit abgenommen hat. Um Zusammenhänge zwischen den beiden Bereichen näher zu betrachten, wurden Veränderungen in den Anteilen gesundheitsbesorgter Substanzkonsumierender untersucht. Die Daten stammen von 17142 Schulkindern in der Schweiz im Alter von 11, 13 und 15 Jahren, die von 1986 bis 1998 alle vier Jahre im Rahmen des internationalen Projekts "Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC)" befragt wurden. Während allgemein der Anteil Gesundheitsbesorgter stetig abgenommen hat, konnte diesbezüglich unter Substanzkonsumierenden keine Veränderung festgestellt werden. Damit ergibt sich 1998 zum ersten Mal ein moderater Zusammenhang zwischen Gesundheitsbesorgnis und Substanzkonsum. Während mit der schwindenden Aufmerksamkeit Jugendlicher auf die eigene Gesundheit der Prävention wichtige Voraussetzungen verloren gehen, zeigt sich unter Substanzkonsumierenden eine kleine Gruppe, die verstärkt Ziel präventiver Bemühungen werden sollte.

Fragestellung: Gesundheitssurveys stellen unabdingbare Informationsquellen für Präventionsmaßnahmen dar. Aufgrund der Fülle an Informationen in solchen Umfragen ist es oftmals jedoch schwer, übergreifende und handlungsleitende Tendenzen zu entnehmen. Ausgehend von Annahmen zu abnehmenden Geschlechterdifferenzen und einem veränderten Einstiegsalter in Bezug auf regelmäßigen Alkoholkonsum versucht die vorliegende Studie ein Interpretationsmodell zu entwickeln. </P><P> Methodik: Die Daten stammen aus dem schweizerischen Teil des internationalen Projekts »Health Behaviour in School-Aged Children (HBSC)«, in welchem 17.142 Schulkinder im Alter von 11, 13 und 15 Jahren von 1986 bis 1998 alle vier Jahre in der Schweiz national repräsentativ befragt wurden. </P><P> Ergebnisse: Es zeigt sich, dass der Anteil regelmäßig Alkoholkonsumierender unter Jüngeren leicht abgenommen hat, während er bei 15-Jährigen stark gestiegen ist. Analog hat sich der Anteil wiederholt betrunken Gewesener unter älteren Schulkindern drastisch erhöht. </P><P> Schlussfolgerungen: Aufgrund der Ergebnisse lässt sich von einer Radikalisierung jugendlichen Alkoholkonsums sprechen, deren präventive Implikationen abschließend erörtert werden.

The Swiss HBSC study aims to assess health behaviour and lifestyles in fifth- to ninth-graders (seventh to eleventh grade HarmoS), most of whom are between 11 and 15 years old. The study is carried out every four years and is based on a nationally representative sample. This is why it allows to assess the health-related situation of adolescents in Switzerland on a regular basis, to compare it to the situation in earlier years, and to detect changes over time.

The Swiss HBSC study is one of the national health statistics in Switzerland. The study provides the federal and cantonal authorities with important information that can be used for health policy development. The HBSC study is also a valuable scientific basis for the development of prevention and health promotion programs, in the school and the recreational context as well as on federal and cantonal level. In particular, two of the national health strategies (the strategy on "addiction" and the strategy on "non-communicable diseases") rely, in part, on HBSC data.

In Switzerland, the HBSC study is funded by the Federal Office of Public Health and the majority of the cantons. In 2018, Addiction Switzerland conducts the HBSC study for the ninth time (after 1986, 1990, 1994, 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010 and 2014) in Switzerland.
