Monitoring the Future: A Continuing Study of American Youth (12th-Grade Survey), 2005

This survey of 12th-grade students is part of a series that
explores changes in important values, behaviors, and lifestyle
orientations of contemporary American youth. Students are randomly
assigned to complete one of six questionnaires, each with a different
subset of topical questions, but all containing a set of "core"
questions on demographics and drug use. There are about 1,400
variables across the questionnaires. Drugs covered by this survey
include tobacco, alcohol, marijuana, hashish, LSD, hallucinogens,
amphetamines (stimulants), Ritalin (methylphenidate), Quaaludes
(methaqualone), barbiturates (tranquilizers), cocaine, crack cocaine,
GHB (gamma hydroxy butyrate), ecstasy, methamphetamine, and heroin.
Other items include attitudes toward religion, changing roles for
women, educational aspirations, self-esteem, exposure to drug
education, and violence and crime (both in and out of school).
