Summary

[edit]
Description

First Figure: Marijuana Use Among this Age Group Remains a Concern

Daily marijuana use is at the highest level since the early 1980s for this age group, with 4.9 percent of college students and 12.8 percent of non-college peers reporting daily use.

Second Figure: Heavy Alcohol Use Appears to be Higher in College Students than Non-College Peers

Binge drinking (five or more drinks in a row): 32.4 percent of college students and 28.7 percent of non-college peers in the past 2 weeks.

Intoxication (having been drunk): 40.8 percent of college students and 30.4 percent of non-college peers in the past month.

Third Figure: Nicotine Use is Generally Lower in College Students

Cigarettes (past-month use): 8.9 percent of college students and 18.8 percent of non-college peers.

E-vaporizers* (past-month use): 6.9 percent of college students and 9 percent of non-college peers.

  • E-vaporizers may include nicotine, other drugs or no drug at all (i.e., flavoring only).

Hookah (past-year use): Past-year hookah use is lower among college students, with 16.9 percent of college students and 19.8 percent of their non-college peers using hookah. In the past five years, hookah use is trending down in college students. In 2011, past-year hookah use was 27.9 percent and fell to 16.9 percent in 2016.

Fourth Figure: Amphetamine Misuse Appears to be Higher in College Students than Non-College Peers

College students appear to have higher rates of amphetamine misuse, highlighting the trend of using these drugs to increase academic performance. However, there is no evidence that these substances increase performance long-term. Past-year use of Ritalin was 2.4% in college students and 1.6% in non-college peers. 9.9 percent of college students reported past-year use of Adderall compared to 6.2% of their non-college peers.
