Conclusion
• Binge drinking results - population distribution (2,3)
• Binge drinking strongly related to university life style (4,5)
• Spanish students doing health-related degrees (A) smoked less (6,7) & less drugs use. (8,9) Illegal drugs &
• High prevalence of licit/illicit drugs consumption among university students (10) with clear differences by gender.
15
Future projects
• Gender-sensitive strategies to promote a healthier lifestyle among Spanish university students (Women)
