This two-volume report presents the results of the 29th national survey of drug use and related attitudes among American high school seniors, the 13th such survey of 8th and 10th grade students, and a followup survey of young adults, including college students. Volume I contains the results from the secondary school samples of 8th, 10th, and 12th graders. The results from college students and young adults are reported in Volume II. Two major topics treated in the report are trends in drug use among American high school students since 1975 and prevalence of drug use among American high school seniors. Also reported are data on school grade at first use, intensity of "high" pro-duced by drug use, attitudes and beliefs among seniors about various types of drug use, and their perceptions of certain relevant aspects of the social environment, such as parental disapproval of drug use or availability of drugs. Beginning in 1986, data on prevalence and trends in drug use among young adults who have completed high school also are presented.
