Abstract
⺠Contrary to previous studies, high value-added schools were associated with greater substance use prevalence in West Scotland. ⺠High value-added schools occurred throughout the socio-economic spectrum and ranges of exam results and truancy rates. ⺠Substance use in Scotland is more likely among disengaged students and those with poorer student-teacher relationships. ⺠Associations between value-added education and substance use were not mediated by pupils' perceptions of school ethos. ⺠Scottish schools may influence pupils' substance use through at least two pathways related to school ethos.
