UK ‘top of charts’ globally for child alcohol use, major WHO report concludes
Girls in the UK are drinking, smoking and vaping more than boys, while England is “top of the charts” globally for child alcohol use, a major report has found.
In one of the largest studies of its kind, the World Health Organisation (WHO) examined data from 280,000 children aged 11, 13 and 15 from 44 countries who were asked about their use of cigarettes, vapes and alcohol.
The survey covered youngsters living in Europe, Central Asia and Canada, and included more than 4,000 children in England, some 4,000 in Scotland and children in Welsh schools.
