    Chart

    Cocaine use: ever, last year, last month, last week, ACT Secondary Students aged 12-17 years, 1996-2017

     

    In 2017, 1.5% of secondary students surveyed reported that they had ever used cocaine and 1.2% had used it in the last year. Estimates for cocaine use in the last month and the last week have not been published due to a relative standard error greater than 50% or small numbers.

    Please note that this indicator was updated in 2022 and replaces all previous versions. 

    The following estimates have a relative standard error between 25% and 50% and should be used with caution:

    2011, 2014 and 2017 ever used cocaine
    2011, 2014 and 2017 used cocaine in the last year
    2002, 2005 and 2008 used cocaine in the last month
    2002, 2005 and 2008 used cocaine in the last week

    The following estimates have not been published due to a relative standard error greater than 50% or small numbers:

    2011, 2014 and 2017 used cocaine in the last month
    2011, 2014 and 2017 used cocaine in the last week

    For the purpose of reporting the Australian Secondary Students' Alcohol and Drug survey data on HealthStats, if the 95% confidence intervals of the estimates do not overlap, they are considered to be significantly different.
