MedNET is the Mediterranean network for co-operation on drugs and addictions of the Pompidou Group. It consists of 18 countries from the northern and southern rims of the Mediterranean. MedSPAD is the Mediterranean School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs. This is the fifth regional report from MedSPAD, offering insights into substance use, risk behaviours among young people and the socio-economic and policy context in the south Mediterranean region. It builds on the findings presented in the 2022 report, Adolescent substance use and risk behaviours in the Mediterranean region, which covered 11 countries. The current report focuses on four countries – Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia. Three of these countries were included in the fourth regional report, while it is the first time the results from the 2022 MedSPAD survey conducted in Lebanon are being published.
