1 Unadjusted for underreporting of amyl and butyl nitrites.
2 Data for 12th graders only are based on five of
six questionnaire forms; N is five-sixths of N indicated.
3 For all grades: For 1993, the question text was changed slightly
in one-half of the forms to indicate that a "drink" meant "more
than a few sips." For 1993, N is one-half of N indicated for all
groups. Data after 1993 were based on all forms for all grades.
