Monitoring the Future Survey Released
The 2006 Monitoring the Future (MTF) study surveys students (8th, 10th, and 12th graders) about lifetime, past year, and past month drug use. The results, released in a press conference today, showed a small decline in the annual prevalence of most illicit drugs and steady use of prescription drugs among the students. Of note also is that the declines were seen more in older students than younger.
