Monitoring the Future National Survey Results on Drug Use, 1975-2024

Longest-running annual national US surveillance survey of adolescent drug use (n>40,000 grades 8/10/12). Establishes that adolescent alcohol/ tobacco/illicit drug use has declined to historic lows in 2020s, but vaping spiked 2017-2019 (then fell post-FDA action), cannabis remains flat-to-rising, and "any past-year illicit drug" reached 50-year low in 2024. Essential epidemiological reference; LatAm parallel is CICAD/OEA's Estudio Andino series.
