AB  - The  leading  causes  of  morbidity  and  mortality  among  adolescents  and  young  adults  are  related  to  alcohol,  smoking,  and  illicit  drug  use.  According  to  2015  data  from  Monitoring  the  Future  (MTF),  alcohol  and  tobacco  use  are  at  the  lowest  level  in  the  survey’s  history,  which  dates  back  to  1975.  From  1996  to  the  present,  the  30-day  prevalence  of  smoking  declined  by  83%  and  79%  in  8th  and  10th  graders,  respectively.  Seventy-five  percent  fewer  students  reported  trying  cigarettes  in  2015  compared  to  1997.  Alcohol  continues  to  be  the  most  widely  used  substance  in  this  population.  In  2000,  the  prevalence  of  alcohol  use  in  the  past  30  days  was  22%,  41%,  and  50%  among  8th,  10th,  and  12th  graders,  respectively;  the  prevalence  has  now  dropped  to  10%,  22%,  and  35%,  respectively.  Marijuana  is  the  most  widely  used  illicit  drug  with  the  highest  prevalence  rate  among  12th  graders  at  35%;  other  illicit  drug  use  declined  across  8th  through  12th  grades  from  34.1%  in  1997  to  26.8%  in  2015.
