Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of American Youth (8th- and 10th-Grade Surveys), 2003

These surveys of 8th- and 10th-grade students are part of a series that explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle orientations of contemporary American youth. Students in each grade are randomly assigned to complete one of four questionnaires, each with a different subset of topical questions but containing a set of "core" questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 450 variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey include amphetamines (stimulants), barbiturates (tranquilizers), other prescription drugs, tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, steroids, marijuana, hashish, LSD, hallucinogens, cocaine, crack, and injection drugs such as heroin.

本系列调研旨在探究美国当代青少年的重要价值观、行为模式与生活取向的变迁，本次调研的对象为八年级与十年级学生，属于该系列的一部分。各年级学生将被随机分配填写四份问卷中的任意一份，每份问卷包含不同的主题问题子集，但均设有一套关于人口统计学特征与药物使用情况的"核心"问题。所有问卷共计约450个变量。本次调研涵盖的药物包括苯丙胺（amphetamines，兴奋剂）、巴比妥类药物（barbiturates，镇静剂）、其他处方药物、烟草、酒精、吸入剂、类固醇、大麻（marijuana）、哈希什（hashish）、麦角酸二乙酰胺（LSD）、致幻剂（hallucinogens）、可卡因（cocaine）、快克可卡因（crack），以及海洛因（heroin）等注射类毒品。
