A long-term study of American adolescents, college students, and young adults. It is conducted by the Univ. of Michigan's Inst. for Social Research and is supported under a series of investigator-initiated, competing research grants from the Nat. Institute on Drug Abuse. This volume presents an overview of the key findings from the 1999 survey of 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students, with a particular emphasis on recent trends in the use of the various licit and illicit drugs covered by the study. It also shows trends in the levels of perceived risk and personal disapproval associated with each drug, which this study has shown to be particularly important in explaining trends in use.
