The 1997 School Survey of Alcohol and Drug Nonuse and Use provided data from over 10,000 Utah students in grades 7-12. The survey was administered to students in 38 of Utah's 40 school districts. The overall purpose of this study was to (1) determine the prevalence and trends of adolescent drug use in Utah and (2) estimate the proportion of adolescents who abuse or are dependent on various drugs. 52 The prevalence of alcohol, cigarette, smokeless tobacco, and marijuana use was much lower in Utah than among corresponding students in the United States. Utah students were similar to students in the United States for use of amphetamines, sedatives, cocaine, hallucinogens, heroin, and inhalants during the past month. 53 Tabte 89.
