Interesting Facts and Statistics:

The rate of past month alcohol use for people aged 12 or older in 2001 was lowest in the East South Central division (34.5 percent) and highest in New England (59.5 percent).

Many drugs such as marijuana and heroin, work by activating neurons because their chemical structure mimics that of a natural brain neurotransmitter. This similarity in structure "fools" receptors in the brain and allows the drugs to lock onto and activate the various nerve cells. Although drugs mimic these brain chemicals, they don't activate these nerve cells in the same way as a natural neurotransmitter, and continuous use of these chemicals can lead to abnormal messages being transmitted throughout the network of the brain.

Most teens aged 12 to 17 believed their parents would "strongly disapprove" of their using substances. In 2005, 91.1 percent of teens aged 12 to 17 reported that their parents would strongly disapprove of their smoking one or more packs of cigarettes per day, while the remaining 8.9 percent believed their parents would "somewhat disapprove" or "neither approve nor disapprove." A majority of teens (90.2 percent) reported that their parents would strongly disapprove of their trying marijuana or hashish once or twice, and 88.9 percent reported their parents would strongly disapprove of their having one or two drinks of an alcoholic beverage nearly every day. These rates of perceived parental disapproval in 2005 were similar to those seen in 2004.

In 2005, among teens aged 12 to 17 with MDE in the past year who received prescription medication for depression, 28.7 percent believed that the prescription medication helped "not at all" or "a little." Nearly half of teens with MDE in the past year (47.2 percent) who received prescription medication for depression in the past year reported the medication was "a lot of help" or "extremely helpful."

Physicians have finally come to believe that Xanax is a drug that is widely abused and highly addictive; they are no longer prescribing it so liberally.

There was no significant change in the number of past year initiates of Ecstasy between 2007 (781,000) and 2008 (894,000). The number of past year Ecstasy initiates in 2008, however, was significantly higher than the estimates in 2003 (642,000), 2004 (607,000), and 2005 (615,000). The estimate had been 1.2 million in 2002, significantly higher than in 2008. Most (68.5 percent) of the recent Ecstasy initiates in 2008 were aged 18 or older at the time they first used Ecstasy. Among past year initiates aged 12 to 49, the average age at initiation of Ecstasy in 2008 was 20.3 years, similar to the average age in 2007 (20.2 years).
