Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of American Youth (8th- and 10th-Grade Surveys), 2022

Résumé 0

These surveys of 8th- and 10th-grade students are part of a series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. Students in each grade are randomly assigned to complete one of four questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions but containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and drug use. There are more than 450 variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey include amphetamines (stimulants), barbiturates (tranquilizers), other prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, tobacco, smokeless tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, steroids, marijuana, hashish, LSD, hallucinogens, cocaine, crack, ecstasy, methamphetamine, and injectable drugs such as heroin. Highlights for 2022: Change to the heroin use questions: Separate questions about heroin use with a needle and heroin use without a needle for lifetime, past 12 months, and past 30 day timeframes are no longer asked. The separate questions have been replaced by the single question, "On how many occasions (if any), have you taken heroin... ...in your lifetime? ...during the last 12 months? ...during the last 30 days? Please see the Highlights for 2022 section in the codebook for more details. Change to the question stem for some lifetime, 12 month, and 30 day marijuana use questions: Please see the Highlights for 2022 section in the codebook for more details.
