Study: Not As Many Teens are Using Drugs, Drinking Alcohol
A new study shows that teen use of illicit drugs, alcohol and tobacco has reached a new low.
FOX’s Jeff Monosso reports:
Teenagers’ use of drugs, alcohol, even tobacco, declined significantly in 2016 at the lowest rates since the 1990’s. Students in grades 8, 10, and 12 were surveyed in almost 400 schools in the 42nd annual Monitoring the Future Study.
Though researchers at the University of Michigan caution that while these developments are “trending in the right direction”, that marijuana still remains high for 12th-graders.
The study also shows the use of e-cigarettes among teens was also high.
