PAST 30-DAY USE


Follow these Data Instructions on how to report the total sample size (Step 2) and percentage of youth who report 30-day use (Step 3) for each substance. Then, enter results into Progress Report. Percentages are entered into Progress Report as whole numbers, rather than decimals (e.g., enter 13.1, instead of 0.131, to represent 13.1%).


For each substance, calculate total sample size and percentage of youth SEPARATELY by:

  • Grade (e.g., for all 6th graders, all 7th graders, all 8th graders, etc.)

  • Gender (e.g., for all male youth, all female youth)



Substance

Item Number

Approval Status

Data Instructions

Step 1: Number of 30-Day Users

Step 2: Total Sample Size

Step 3: Percentage of 30-Day Users

Alcohol

II. 1

+

Sum up the number of 30-day users of alcohol, options b through g (30-day users = # who chose options b+ c + d + e + f + g)

Sum up the number of youth who responded to the item (total sample size = # who chose any response option )

Calculate the percentage of respondents who are users by dividing the sum from Step 1 by the sum from Step 2, then multiplying by 100 ((Step 1 ÷ Step 2) × 100)

Tobacco

II. 2

+

30-day users = # who chose options c + d + e + f + g + h

Total sample size = # who chose any response option

Percentage of 30-Day Users = (Step 1 ÷ Step 2) × 100

Marijuana

II. 3

+

30-day users = # who chose option a

Total sample size = # who chose any response option

Percentage of 30-Day Users = (Step 1 ÷ Step 2) × 100

Prescription Drugs

II. 4

+

30-day users = # who chose option a

Total sample size = # who chose any response option

Percentage of 30-Day Users = (Step 1 ÷ Step 2) × 100






PERCEPTION OF RISK


Follow these Data Instructions on how to report the total sample size (Step 2) and percentage of youth who report MODERATE or GREAT risk responses (Step 3) for each substance. Then, enter results into Progress Report. Percentages are entered into Progress Report as whole numbers, rather than decimals (e.g., enter 13.1, instead of 0.131, to represent 13.1%).
