NIDA InfoFacts High School and Youth Trends -
website

• Since 1975 the Monitoring the Future (MTF)
  survey has measured drug, alcohol, and cigarette
  use and related attitudes among adolescent
  students nationwide. Survey participants report
  their drug use behaviors across three time
  periods lifetime, past year, and past month for
  some drugs, daily use is also reported.1
  Initially, the survey included 12th-graders only,
  but in 1991 it was expanded to include 8th- and
  10th-graders. The MTF survey is funded by NIDA
  and is conducted by the University of Michigan's
  Institute for Social Research. The 35th annual
  study was conducted during 2009.2

  history of the survey
• Between 2004 and 2009, a drop in past-year use

• From 2004 to 2009, decreases were observed in
  lifetime, past-year, past-month, and binge use of
  alcohol across the three grades surveyed.3

• Areas of Concern
• Marijuana use across the three grades has shown a
  consistent decline since the mid-1990s. The trend
  has stalled, however, with prevalence rates
  remaining steady over the last 5 years.
• From 2008 to 2009, lifetime, past-month, and
  daily use of smokeless tobacco increased
  significantly among 10th-graders.
• Past-year nonmedical use of Vicodin and OxyContin
  increased during the last 5 years among
• When asked how prescription narcotics were
  obtained for nonmedical use, about 52 percent of
  12th-graders said they were given the drugs or
  bought them from a friend or relative.
  Additionally, 30 percent reported receiving a
  prescription for them, and a negligible number of
  12th-graders reported purchasing the narcotics
  over the Internet.6
