Progress: Data for 2000, 2001, and 2002 are not available because no special analysis has been conducted of the Monitoring the Future Survey in those years. Explanation: Rates of substance use in school generally parallel but are much lower than overall rates of substance abuse by youth. Rates of alcohol use for all grade levels have remained relatively steady for many years and are, therefore, unlikely to decline in the near future. Marijuana use rates increased in the mid-nineties, but recently have been relatively steady and may have leveled off. No 2000, 2001, or 2002 are available as a special analysis of the Monitoring the Future Survey was not conducted for those years. In future years a new data source will be used that provides regularly collected data and the indicator will be redefined. |
Additional Source Information: Monitoring the Future, 1999. Frequency: Annually. Validated By: NCES. Limitations: According to NCES calculations, from 1976 to 1996 the total annual response rate for this survey varied between 46 percent and 67 percent. MTF does not release its data on in-school use; special runs for these data are generally not available until the spring of the year following the December release of other MTF data. MTF does not collect data for 8th, 10th, and 12th graders on drug use in school in a way that allows data to be compared across the three grades. |

Progress: Target was met for 2001. Data for the next reporting period (2003) will not be available until December 2003. Explanation: Measure 1: The percentage of students reporting being in a fight at school had declined since 1995. Standard error for 2001 data is +/- 1%. |

Collection Period: 2003 Data Available: December 2003 Validated By: Federal Statistical Agencies. Limitations: YRBS data are collected biennially and reported in the year after collection; the 2003 data will be reported in 2004. While most NCVS data are reported the year after collection, in-school victimization data is a special analysis with a delayed release. The data collected in 2001 will be released in 2004. |
