The percentages below show drug use trends among 8th, 10th, and 12th
graders over the last 3 years as reported by NIDA's 1996 Monitoring the
Future study. The study, conducted by the University of Michigan's Institute
for Social Research, has surveyed a representative sample of 12th graders
each years since 1975. In 1991, the study first began surveying 8th and
10th graders. For highlights of the survey, see "Marijuana
