The rate has been moving Director Walters discusses the results of the 2005 NSDUH The survey, conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, finds that current illicit drug use among youth ages 12-17 continues to decline. The rate has been moving downward from 11.6 percent using drugs in the past month in 2002 to 11.2 percent in 2003, 10.6 percent in 2004 and 9.9 percent in 2005. This initial report from the 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), released at the annual observance of National Alcohol and Drug Abuse Recovery Month Observance, focuses on significant trends in substance abuse and mental health problems since 2002. Similarly, the rate of current marijuana use among youth ages 12 to 17 declined significantly from 8.2 percent in 2002 to 6.8 percent in 2005, and the average age of first use of marijuana increased from under age 17 in 2003 to 17.4 years in 2005. Furthermore, drinking among teens declined, with 16.5 percent of youth ages 12-17 reporting current alcohol use and 9.9 percent reporting binge drinking. This compares with 17.6 percent of this age group reporting drinking in 2004 and 11.1 percent reporting binge drinking in the past month in 2004. These declines in alcohol use by youth, ages 12-17, follow years of relatively unchanged rates. The baby boomer generation presents a different story. Among adults aged 50 to 59, the rate of current illicit drug use increased from 2.7 percent to 4.4 percent between 2002 and 2005, reflecting the aging into this age group - the baby boom cohort. <p><a href="http://www.healthlinetoday.com/podcasts/audio/ONDCPnsduh2005.mp3">File Download (14:50 min / 6 MB)</a></p> 00:14:50 Tue, 21 Aug 2007 11:02:00 -0400 http://www.healthlinetoday.com/podcasts/index.php?id=1442 http://www.healthlinetoday.com/podcasts/index.php?id=1442 admin admin no http://www.healthlinetoday.com/podcasts/index.php?id=1442#comments ONDCP teen-drug-abuse Early Marijuana Use a Warning Sign for Later Gang Involvement In this podcast, Director Walters discusses a new Special Report showing that teens who use drugs are more likely to engage in violent and delinquent behavior and join gangs.
