1 In 1993, the alcohol question was changed to indicate that a drink meant more than a few sips. Data for 1993, available in the spreadsheet version of this table, are
based on a half sample. See Appendix II, Alcohol consumption.
2 Five or more alcoholic drinks in a row at least once in the prior 2-week period. See Appendix II, Binge drinking.
NOTES: Estimates for Hispanic students are not shown due to small sample size. For 2-year estimates for Hispanic students, see Johnston LD, O’Malley PM,
Bachman JG, Schulenberg JE, Miech RA. Monitoring the Future National Survey results on drug use: 1975–2013. Volume I: Secondary school students. Ann Arbor:
Institute for Social Research, The University of Michigan. 2014. Available from: http://www.monitoringthefuture.org//pubs/monographs/mtf-vol1_2013.pdf. Because of
methodological differences among the National Survey on Drug Use & Health (NSDUH), the Monitoring the Future Study (MTF), and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey
(YRBS), rates of substance use measured by these surveys are not directly comparable. See Appendix I, National Survey on Drug Use & Health (NSDUH); Monitoring
the Future (MTF) Study; Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). See Appendix II, Cigarette smoking; Illicit drug use; Substance use. Data for additional years are
available. See the Excel spreadsheet on the Health, United States website at: http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/hus.htm.
