IntroductionPositive Youth Trends in Drug Use• According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse,

there have been decreases among 8th, 10th, and 12th graders in the “any illicit drug” category of drug use. Based on 2006 data, past prevalence has fallen by 37 % since 1996 for 8th graders, 25% for 10th graders, and 14% for 12th graders. Combining all three grades, past month abuse for any illicit drug has dropped by 23% since 2001.

Negative Youth Trends in Drug Use• However, abuse of OxyContin and Vicodin continued

at levels to raise concern. Also, the percentage of students who saw a great risk in using MDMA “once or twice” or “occasionally” as well as their overall disapproval of MDMA use decreased. The same was true for hallucinogens like LSD. As attitudes towards drug usage shifts among today’s youth, we may see our positive trends come to an end.
