Data presented for these measures are rounded to the next whole number. Explanation: The most recent data from 2003 show no significant change for drug access on school property. The data, which represent total responses from all surveyed students, are also reported for male and female respondents. Data for male and female categories provide useful insights into drug use among youth. Between 2001 and 2003, the underlying data show an increase in drug exposure for females, and a decrease in exposure to drugs for males. Females reported a 2.3 percent increase from 25.0 percent in 2001 to 31.9 percent 2003. This increase offset the reported decrease for males from 34.6 percent in 2001 to 31.9 percent in 2003. |
