Current use is use in the past 30 days. Adolescents are those ages 12 through 17. Question: Think specifically about the past 30 days up to and including today. During the past 30 days, on how many days did you drink one or more drinks of an alcoholic beverage?

Monitoring the Future Study Drinking Among 8 th Graders Percent Who Drank In The Last 30 Days Source: The University of Michigan Monitoring the Future Study, sponsored by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Surveys of nationally representative samples of American high school seniors were begun in 1975, making the Class of 2010 the 36th such class surveyed. Surveys of 8th and 10th graders were added to the design in 1991, making the 2010 nationally representative samples the 20th such classes surveyed. Sample sizes in 2010 are 15,769 eighth graders in 147 schools, 15,586 tenth graders in 123 schools, and 15,127 twelfth graders in 126 schools, for a total of 46,482 students in 396 secondary schools. The samples are drawn separately at each grade level to be representative of students in that grade in public and private secondary schools across the coterminous United States. Schools are selected with probability proportionate to their estimated class size. The findings are located at http://www.monitoringthefuture.org Accessed 12/2010http://www.monitoringthefuture.org Question: On how many occasions (if any) have you had alcohol to drink– more than just a few sips during the last 30 days?

The data have been statistically adjusted to reflect the responses of the 1.5 million first-time, full- time students entering four year colleges and universities as freshmen in 2010. Since 1966, the first year the survey was conducted, more than 15 million incoming first- year students at 1,900 colleges and universities nationwide have participated.
