This study surveys the extent of substance misuse behaviour among secondary students in Hong Kong. One-fifth of the sample were misusing substances themselves and one-quarter had friends misusing substances. On seeking help regarding substance misuse, two-thirds would see the school social worker; the second preferred helper was a friend.
