TN Together Student Survey 2020-21

State- and Region-Level Weighted Results: Detailed Tables by Gender and Grade

Introduction

This report includes a compilation of tables and graphs presenting weighted region- and state-level results from the Tennessee Together Student Survey administered during the 2020-21 school year. This survey was administered to 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students enrolled in Tennessee public schools. The final sample included 34 counties with 18,010 survey respondents. The detailed tables in this report include results for the state and for the five participating TDMHSAS Behavioral Health Planning and Policy Regions. State-level data tables are labeled with the prefix “TN” and Planning and Policy Region-level tables are labeled with the prefix “PPR” and region number. Survey results are presented by grade level (8th, 10th, or 12th) and gender (male or female). The findings from this report can be used to identify emergent needs related to substance use prevention; to monitor changes in substance use prevalence and attitudes; and to assess the impacts of community-wide efforts to prevent and reduce substance use among youth within local schools and communities.

The detailed tables in this document include weighted prevalence estimates (%) and 95 percent confidence intervals. Post-stratification weighting of survey responses by grade and gender was used to adjust for nonresponse. For the state-level results, the overall weights were scaled so that the weighted count of students equaled the total state enrolled population in surveyed grades, and the weighted proportions of students in each grade matched the state population proportions. The same process was repeated for each regional analysis, with the weights scaled to equal the total region enrolled population in surveyed grades. Enrollment data from the Tennessee Department of Education 2018-19 Membership File were used to estimate student populations. To account for the complex sampling designs, statistical analyses were conducted on the weighted data using R statistical software.

This document was developed to accompany the 2020-21 TN Together Student Survey Results narrative report which provides more detail about the survey administration and methodology, as well as a comprehensive analysis of survey results over time.

TN: Lifetime Substance Use

Lifetime substance use was defined as using a substance at least once. Students were asked a yes or no question, “Have you ever used…” for each substance.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any lifetime use of each substance, shown by gender and grade. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

TN: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

TN: Past 30-Day Substance Use

Past 30-day use was defined as using a substance at least once in the past 30 days. Students who reported lifetime use of a substance were asked to report the number of times they used in the past 30 days.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 days” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency of use, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any past 30-day use of each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

TN: High-Frequency Use (created variables)

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

TN: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

TN: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

TN: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

TN: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

TN: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

TN: Perception of Risk

Perception of risk for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How much do you think people risk harming themselves physically or in other ways if they…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “No risk” to “Great Risk.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“No risk,” “Slight risk,” “Moderate risk,” and “Great risk”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported either “Moderate Risk” or “Great Risk,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Lifetime Substance Use

Lifetime substance use was defined as using a substance at least once. Students were asked a yes or no question, “Have you ever used…” for each substance.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any lifetime use of each substance, shown by gender and grade. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Lifetime Prescription Drug Misuse

Q9: Have you ever used prescription drugs not prescribed to you? (Prescription drugs include drugs that require a doctor’s prescription to purchase or consume like OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Codeine, Adderall, Ritalin, and Xanax.)

PPR1: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Past 30-Day Substance Use

Past 30-day use was defined as using a substance at least once in the past 30 days. Students who reported lifetime use of a substance were asked to report the number of times they used in the past 30 days.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 days” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency of use, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any past 30-day use of each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: High-Frequency Use (created variables)

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

PPR1: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR1: Sources of Alcohol

Q19a. Students who selected at least one alcohol source.

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR1: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

PPR1: Tried to Buy Alcohol

Q20a. Students who reported buying or attempting to buy alcohol.

PPR1: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

PPR1: Perception of Risk

Perception of risk for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How much do you think people risk harming themselves physically or in other ways if they…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “No risk” to “Great Risk.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“No risk,” “Slight risk,” “Moderate risk,” and “Great risk”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported either “Moderate Risk” or “Great Risk,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR1: Family Communication about Substance Use and Exposure to Prevention Messaging

Family communication about substance use for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “During the past 12 months, have you talked with at least one of your parents about the dangers of… [substance use]? By parents, we mean your adult guardians, whether they live with you or not.” Exposure to prevention messaging was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 12 months, do you recall hearing, reading, or watching an advertisement about the dangers of using prescription drugs not prescribed to you?”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no conversations or exposure to messaging (the “No” column), one conversation or exposure (the “Yes” column), and multiple conversations or exposures (the “Yes, more than once” column), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported at least one or more conversations or exposures, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR2: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR2: High-Frequency Use (created variables)

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR2: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR2: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

PPR2: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR2: Sources of Alcohol

Q19a. Students who selected at least one alcohol source.

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR2: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

PPR2: Tried to Buy Alcohol

Q20a. Students who reported buying or attempting to buy alcohol.

PPR2: Asked to Show Proof of Age

PPR2: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

PPR2: Parent, Peer, and Personal Disapproval of Alcohol and Other Drug Use

Parent, peer, and personal disapproval for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How wrong do your parents feel it would be for you to…”, “How wrong do your friends feel it would be for you to…”, and “How wrong do you think it is for someone your age to…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Not at all wrong” to “Very Wrong.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Not at all wrong,” “A little bit wrong,” “Wrong,” and “Very wrong”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Wrong” or “Very wrong,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval.

PPR2: Perception of Risk

Perception of risk for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How much do you think people risk harming themselves physically or in other ways if they…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “No risk” to “Great Risk.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“No risk,” “Slight risk,” “Moderate risk,” and “Great risk”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported either “Moderate Risk” or “Great Risk,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR3: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR3: Past 30-Day Substance Use

Past 30-day use was defined as using a substance at least once in the past 30 days. Students who reported lifetime use of a substance were asked to report the number of times they used in the past 30 days.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 days” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency of use, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any past 30-day use of each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR3: High-Frequency Use (created variables)

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR3: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR3: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

PPR3: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR3: Sources of Alcohol

Q19a. Students who selected at least one alcohol source.

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR3: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

PPR3: Tried to Buy Alcohol

Q20a. Students who reported buying or attempting to buy alcohol.

PPR3: Asked to Show Proof of Age

PPR3: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

PPR5: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR5: Past 30-Day Substance Use

Past 30-day use was defined as using a substance at least once in the past 30 days. Students who reported lifetime use of a substance were asked to report the number of times they used in the past 30 days.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 days” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency of use, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any past 30-day use of each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR5: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR5: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

PPR5: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR5: Sources of Alcohol

Q19a. Students who selected at least one alcohol source.

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR5: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

PPR5: Tried to Buy Alcohol

Q20a. Students who reported buying or attempting to buy alcohol.

PPR5: Asked to Show Proof of Age

PPR5: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

PPR6: Age of Initiation of Substances

Age of initiation was defined as the age at which a student first used a given substance. Students who reported lifetime use were asked, “How old were you when you first used…” for each substance. Tables and bar graphs are only displayed in this section if there were students who reported lifetime use of a given substance. If no students in the sample reported ever using a substance, no age of initiation could be calculated.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no substance initiation (the “Never” column) and the percent of students who reported initiation at each age, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the weighted average age of initiation, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar in the bar graphs also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Past 30-Day Substance Use

Past 30-day use was defined as using a substance at least once in the past 30 days. Students who reported lifetime use of a substance were asked to report the number of times they used in the past 30 days.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 days” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency of use, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported any past 30-day use of each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: High-Frequency Use (created variables)

High-frequency use was created using students’ responses to the past 30-day use frequency questions. For students who reported any use, we calculated whether this use would be classified as “high-frequency use” - defined as use on six or more days in the past month.

The bar graphs for each substance show the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported high-frequency use out of students who reported any past 30-day use, (shown by gender and grade level). Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Access to Substances

Access to each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “How easy is it to get…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Very Easy” to “Very Difficult.” If they did not know, they could select “Don’t Know.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Very easy,” “Fairly easy,” “Fairly difficult,” and “Very difficult”), shown by gender and grade level. Students who responded “Don’t know” were excluded from these proportions.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Fairly difficult” or “Very difficult” to obtain each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Sources of Substances

Sources for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 30 days, if you used… in which ways (if any) did you get…?” This question was asked for prescription drugs and alcohol. Students who reported past 30-day use were asked to select all of their sources. If a student did not use in the past 30 days, they were not asked to report.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported obtaining or using a given substance in the past 30 days on the source question, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students who reported each source, provided that they reported use in the past 30 days. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who obtained substances from each source of those who reported any past 30-day use.” Students could select multiple sources, so percentages in the plots will not sum to 100 percent. Demographic breakdowns are not included for individual sources due to small sample sizes.

PPR6: Sources of Prescription Drugs

Q22a. Students who selected at least one prescription drug source.

Q22b-Q22j. During the past 30 days, if you used prescription drugs to get high, how did you get the drugs? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR6: Sources of Alcohol

Q19a. Students who selected at least one alcohol source.

Q19b-Q19q. During the past 30 days, if you used alcohol, in which ways did you get alcohol? (Mark all that apply.)

PPR6: Ability to Purchase Alcohol

Students’ ability to purchase alcohol was assessed via two questions: one that asked about proof of age and one that asked about ability to purchase.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days, shown by gender and grade. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The second bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were asked to show proof of age out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were asked to show proof of age of those who reported attempting to buy alcohol in the past 30 days.”

The final bar graph for each substance shows the percent of students (weighted proportions) who were able to purchase (sometimes or every time) out of those who reported attempting to buy. Each data point can be interpreted as, “the percent of students who were able to purchase alcohol of those who reported attempting to buy in the past 30 days.”

PPR6: Tried to Buy Alcohol

Q20a. Students who reported buying or attempting to buy alcohol.

PPR6: Asked to Show Proof of Age

Q20b.-Q20c. If you bought or tried to buy alcohol yourself during the past 30 days, were you ever asked to show proof of age?

PPR6: Able to Purchase Alcohol

Q21b.-Q21d. If you bought or tried to buy alcohol yourself during the past 30 days, were you able to purchase it?

PPR6: Riding with Impaired Drivers

Riding with impaired drivers was defined as riding in a car with someone under the influence of each substance. Students who reported ever having ridden in a car with an impaired driver were asked to report the number of times they had done so in the past 30 days.

The first bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported ever riding in a car with an impaired driver (lifetime), shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no past 30-day substance use (the “0 times” column) and the proportion of students who reported each frequency, shown by gender and grade level.

The final bar graph for each substance displays the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported riding with an impaired driver in the past 30 days one or more times, shown by gender and grade level.

PPR6: Lifetime Riding with a Prescription Drug-Impaired Driver

Q23b. Have you ever ridden in a car driven by someone who was taking or was under the influence of prescription drugs?

PPR6: Parent, Peer, and Personal Disapproval of Alcohol and Other Drug Use

Parent, peer, and personal disapproval for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How wrong do your parents feel it would be for you to…”, “How wrong do your friends feel it would be for you to…”, and “How wrong do you think it is for someone your age to…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “Not at all wrong” to “Very Wrong.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“Not at all wrong,” “A little bit wrong,” “Wrong,” and “Very wrong”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that it was either “Wrong” or “Very wrong,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Perception of Risk

Perception of risk for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “How much do you think people risk harming themselves physically or in other ways if they…” Students were asked to respond using a rating scale from “No risk” to “Great Risk.”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported each rating option (“No risk,” “Slight risk,” “Moderate risk,” and “Great risk”), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance show the combined percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported either “Moderate Risk” or “Great Risk,” shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Friends’ Substance Use

Friends’ substance use was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “Think of your four best friends (the friends you feel closest to). In the past year (12 months), how many, if any, of your friends have…” used each substance.

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that none of their closest friends had used (the “0 friends” column) and the proportion of students who reported each number of friends who used, shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported that at least one or more of their closest friends had used each substance, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.

PPR6: Family Communication about Substance Use and Exposure to Prevention Messaging

Family communication about substance use for each substance was defined using students’ responses to the questions, “During the past 12 months, have you talked with at least one of your parents about the dangers of… [substance use]? By parents, we mean your adult guardians, whether they live with you or not.” Exposure to prevention messaging was defined using students’ responses to the question, “During the past 12 months, do you recall hearing, reading, or watching an advertisement about the dangers of using prescription drugs not prescribed to you?”

The tables for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported no conversations or exposure to messaging (the “No” column), one conversation or exposure (the “Yes” column), and multiple conversations or exposures (the “Yes, more than once” column), shown by gender and grade level.

The bar graphs for each substance display the percent of students (weighted proportions) who reported at least one or more conversations or exposures, shown by gender and grade level. Each bar also includes a light gray line that represents the lower and upper limit of the 95% confidence interval. Longer lines indicate that there is potential for more variation in the estimated value and shorter lines indicate less variation.
