university. Henceforth, this study aims to map out the consumption levels of alcohol and
narcotics among social work students at Lund University. This was made possible by a
quantitative method and use of an online-survey. The questionnaire was answered by 215
social work students. Results show that a majority of respondents drink alcohol either each

had tried drugs and about half of these had only tried once or a few times, and from all
different alternatives it showed that cannabis, marijuana and cannabinoids were the most
commonly used. Results also show that a majority of the 38 respondents who has tried
narcotics during their time spent at university tried it due to them being offered narcotics by
others. Additionally, the answers show that a 42 percent of the individuals who has tried
narcotics for the first time did so under the influence of alcohol as well as 40 percent who
tried it for the first time during a party. In conclusion, even if this study is able to map out
consumption levels of alcohol and narcotics among social work students at Lund university,
further studies are required to be able to make any assumptions regarding the population. (Less)
