2012 Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use

Introduction
The Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use is sponsored by the Department of State Health
Services (DSHS) and implemented by the Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) at Texas A&M
University. The Texas School Survey project is conducted in two parts. First, a statewide survey is
administered every two years in a sample of districts throughout the state. The statewide survey
helps inform policymakers about the extent and nature of the substance use problem in Texas
schools. It also gives districts conducting local surveys a standard of comparison for interpreting
their own drug and alcohol survey findings.
The second component of the Texas School Survey makes drug and alcohol surveys available for
administration in individual school districts. The Texas School Survey is offered annually to every
school district in the state. DSHS partially supports these district-level administrations by absorbing
the cost of instrument development, funding the preparation of an executive summary of the local
results, and providing state survey data as a basis for interpreting local findings. A local
administration of the Texas School Survey was conducted in your school district during the spring of
2012. Your local survey results are presented in this report. Findings from the statewide
assessment, which was conducted in the spring of 2012, are also presented in the report.
Organization of the Report
The report is divided into three major sections. Part I, District Results, contains a set of tables and
margins summarizing the secondary and (if applicable) elementary survey data for your district. Part
II, State Results, will contain a complete set of tables and margins presenting state results in a format
similar to your local report. Part III, Executive Summary, will contain a customized written
synopsis of the local survey results and a complete set of corresponding figures comparing those
local results to the state survey data.
Prior to presenting the results, there are a number of important points that should be considered with
regard to the data cited in this report. These issues relate both to the 2012 statewide survey as well
as to the district-level data from this year. This section briefly presents some basic information
regarding the development of the report and the limitations of the data.
Background on Local Survey Administration
The Texas School Survey is offered for students in grades four through twelve. Two versions of the
survey instrument have been developed to accommodate both older and younger students. Each
school district had the ability to administer either an online version of the survey via a secure
website, or the traditional paper-pencil administration. School districts selected which method of
administration they preferred when signing up for the survey. Districts were asked to limit survey
administration to one of a fixed set of grade combinations. Below are brief descriptions of the
elementary and secondary survey instruments and a review of acceptable grade combinations.

The Texas School Survey Instrument


Two versions of the Texas School Survey are available. The first, a six-page questionnaire, is
designed for secondary students in grades seven through twelve. The secondary survey instrument
explores usage patterns of illicit drugs including tobacco and alcohol products, inhalants, marijuana,
powdered cocaine, crack, hallucinogens, uppers, downers, Rohypnol, DXM, steroids, ecstasy, and
heroin. Other questions pertain to behavioral and demographic correlates of substance use,
problems associated with substance use, and sources of information about help for substance-related
problems.
A streamlined, three-page instrument is available for students in grades four through six. The
questions in the elementary survey are similar to those found in the secondary version, but they have
been adapted to be more easily understood by younger respondents (i.e., the language has been
simplified wherever possible, students have been asked about fewer drug alternatives, and some
complex questions have been omitted).
Standard Grade Combinations
In order to make state and local comparisons of substance use across all grades, both the state and
local aggregate percentages must be based upon the same combinations of grades. Otherwise, state
and local data is comparable by individual grade, but overall scores can not be compared directly.
Because the 2012 state survey data was run in only a limited number of grade combinations, districts
were encouraged to administer their local surveys in the following grade groupings:
Elementary

Secondary

4 through 6
4 through 5

7 through 12
9 through 12
8, 10, and 12

If your district did not survey one of the above grade combinations, be aware that you can only
compare your district results to the state data by individual grade. Where districts chose to do other
combinations of grades, no comparable overall percentages for the state data are available. This will
be an especially critical issue for small districts who only receive aggregate data.
Limitations of the Data
A number of subtle factors, such as sampling error and the limitations of self-reported data, can have
a major bearing on the meaning and/or conclusions of the data. In addition, an awareness of the
precise population to which findings can be generalized is also valuable because knowing who was
not included in the survey can be as important as knowing who was included. In the following

paragraphs, some of the most significant caveats relating to both the statewide and local findings are
discussed.
Survey Population
In generalizing the results of the state and local surveys, it should be remembered that the data were
collected in public schools. Neither private school students nor drop-outs were sampled though both
represent significant components of the youthful population of Texas. These limitations should be
kept in mind when considering the implications of the data. The findings do, however, represent
reasonable estimates of drug use among the public school population of Texas and offer a suitable
basis of comparison for public school districts.
Self-Reported Data
The drug and alcohol use data are entirely based on self-reported information. While a number of
studies have established the usefulness of self-reported information for estimating the incidence and
prevalence of drug use, the validity of these data ultimately depends on the truthfulness, recall, and
comprehension of respondents. This study is carefully designed to minimize the impact of these
potential sources of error. For example, students who report impossibly high levels of substance use
or use of non-existent drugs are eliminated from the analysis. Further, differences in recall or
comprehension are assumed to be constant across both the state and local survey samples. Any
reporting bias in the data should therefore be approximately equal in both assessments, and
comparisons between district and state data should be valid. Nonetheless, the limitations of selfreported information should be considered when drawing conclusions about the data.
Sampling Error
The 2012 statewide survey data is based on a sample of Texas secondary and elementary students.
Because a sample rather than the entire population of students was surveyed, a certain amount of
error is introduced when generalizing findings from the sample to the population. To gauge the size
of this error, confidence intervals for all estimates are ascertained. In general, however, small
differences of a few percentage points are usually not statistically meaningful. Attention should be
focused on large differences of five percentage points or more.
Survey Protocols and Administration
Finally, the accuracy of the data is dependent upon whether school staff followed Texas School
Survey protocols for the sampling of students.
Analytic Guidelines
In processing the drug and alcohol survey data, there are a number of analytic issues that should be
addressed. These include questions such as how to identify students who are exaggerating their drug
or alcohol use, how best to calculate average substance use figures, how to handle surveys from

students in grades that are not technically being surveyed, and how to classify data for students who
fail to report their grade level. This section will review some rules established to deal with these
matters.
Handling of Exaggerators
As discussed above, the survey data presented herein is based entirely upon a respondents
description of his or her own behavior. It is inevitable that some students will under- or over-report
their use of drugs or alcohol. To the extent possible, an attempt is made to identify and eliminate
data from those respondents. Two checks have been incorporated into the data analysis program to
identify exaggerators. First, data from students claiming to have used "Damaxil," a non-existent
drug, is considered suspect and dropped from the analyses. Second, students claiming impossibly
high levels of drug or alcohol use are also dropped from the analyses. Unbelievably high substance
use among secondary students is based on the following criteria: (1) students report in that they
have consumed two or more alcoholic beverages every day five or more times; (2) students report
that they have consumed three or more alcoholic beverages every day; or (3) students report that
they have used three or more illicit drugs (other than tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, marijuana, or
steroids) on a daily basis. Elementary students are considered exaggerators, and are excluded, if
they indicated that they have used five or more substances 11 or more times in either their lifetimes
or during the past school year.
Weighted Aggregate Data
In many districts, the percentage of all enrolled students that actually take the survey varies
substantially by grade. Though patterns are different for each district, typically a larger proportion
of younger students complete the survey compared to their older peers. If a simple average is taken
when calculating overall levels of use, older students may not be represented in proportion to their
numbers. Since these are the very students most likely to use drugs or alcohol, their underrepresentation in the aggregate scores results in artificially lower overall levels of substance use.
To achieve more representative percentages when calculating overall or aggregate levels of
substance use, a "weighted average" procedure is used. Prior to calculating the averages, scores for
each grade surveyed are weighted by the total enrollment for that grade. By weighting averages by
actual enrollment, over- or under-sampling in aggregate scores is partially alleviated.
Surveys from "Out-of-Range" Grades
Occasionally, students from a grade that is not technically being surveyed are included in the district
sample. This is primarily a problem where the survey is administered in a non-contiguous grade
combination (e.g., 8, 10, and 12). In these instances, the final sample often contains a few students
who are in "out of range" grade levels. Generally, data for these students is not thrown out. Rather,
it is re-coded and included with the next contiguous grade level. A conservative approach is used
whereby younger students can be grouped with their older peers, but older students can not be re-

coded to a lower grade. This prevents artificially high levels of reported substance use in lower
grades.
There are two cases in which the "out-of-range" data is dropped from the analyses rather than being
re-coded: (1) if there is no contiguous higher grade with which to combine the data; and (2) if the
number of respondents in "out-of-range" students is greater than ten percent of the grade with which
they are being grouped. This latter measure is designed to prevent a large number of "out of range"
grades from obscuring the true grade-level values.
Surveys in Which No Grade Level Was Reported
When students failed to report their grade level, it is not possible to determine unequivocally with
what grade these students' data should be analyzed. Where grade level is missing, students' data are
retained in the sample and an estimate of grade is made based on his or her age. Students that are at
age level for beginning a grade are included with that grade. If both grade and age are missing, the
data are dropped from the analyses.
Overview of the Data
The Texas School Survey findings for your school district are summarized in this section. Survey
findings are presented in three formats: figures, tables, and margins. Figures portray both state and
local survey results in a "side-by-side" format, allowing for direct comparisons to be made. There
are a total of six elementary and thirteen secondary figures, although not all of these can be produced
for every school district. All of the figures that can be generated for your district have been
produced.
Two sets of primary and/or secondary tables are available. The first set, the General Substance
Tables, are divided into five groupings---tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, inhalants, and miscellaneous.
In each of these groupings are tables that illustrate general information about substance use patterns
in the district and include prevalence of use, frequency of use, and age of first use. In addition, these
tables highlight certain perceptions, attitudes and, behaviors from the data such as perceived
availability and peer use of various substances, parental attitudes, attending class or operating a
motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and the use of intoxicants at parties.
The second set, Prevalence Tables, contains fourteen tables showing the percentage of students who
have used specific drugs or alcohol in the past month, past school year, and during their lifetimes.
All tables are available for each participating district. Tables showing the same data for the state are
also provided. Please note that the percentages listed under the School Year heading include the
Past Month percentages.
Additional data are presented in the margins, which contain the raw percentages of students who
gave each response option for all questions. Keep in mind that if your district under-sampled a
particular grade(s), your overall percentages will represent "weighted averages." As a result, the raw
percentages presented in your margins may reflect weighted counts rather than actual raw counts.

Standards of Data Presentation


A wide variety of school districts took part in the Texas School Survey. In order to accommodate the
diversity of participants, guidelines for organizing and presenting the data were established. These
include standards for handling data from small and mid-sized districts and for determining which
tables and figures should be produced for each. These guidelines are reviewed below.
Data Aggregation
In some districts, too few students are surveyed to allow for reliable grade-level analyses to be
performed. Where this occurs, data from several grades are grouped together. Grade groupings are
established so as to (1) maximize the number of valid between-group comparisons possible and (2)
protect students' confidentiality. One of three possible data presentation formats is selected for each
district, depending on the number of students per grade. In districts where the number of students
per grade varies widely, a format is selected based on the size of the majority of grades surveyed.
However, if one or more grades fall below a total of thirty students, the next lower level of
aggregation is automatically selected.
The guidelines used for data aggregation are as follows:
Secondary
Small:

When there are fewer than thirty students per grade, a single
percentage is shown representing all students.

Medium:

When there are thirty to ninety students per grade, percentages are
aggregated into grade groupings (e.g., combining grades 7 and 8 and
grades 9 - 12).

Large:

When there are more than ninety students per grade, separate
percentages are shown for each grade level surveyed.
Elementary

Small:

When there are fewer than sixty students per grade, a single
percentage is shown for all students.

Large:

When there are more than sixty students per grade, separate
percentages are shown for each grade level surveyed.

Availability of Graphics

According to the data aggregation rules outlined above, graphics illustrating data by grade can not be
produced for districts surveying fewer than thirty students per grade. As a consequence, figures that
show grade-level breakdowns are omitted from both the elementary and secondary versions of
reports for small districts. With these exceptions, all other figures and tables are produced for every
district regardless of size.
Conventions Used in Data Presentation
Throughout the report, a number of conventions were adopted to maintain consistency in reporting.
A common terminology is employed and a standard set of symbols is used in each table and figure.
These terms and symbols are described in the following paragraphs, beginning with a set of general
definitions and followed by a discussion of specific conventions used in tables and margins.
Definitions
There are several terms used throughout the report that, though seemingly straightforward, may have
some bearing on how the data is understood and interpreted. These definitions are outlined below.
Alcohol. When the category "Alcohol" appears in a figure or table, it represents the combined use of
beer, wine, wine coolers, and liquor. Each of these alcoholic substances may be referenced
individually, as well.
Cocaine or Crack. This reference is found only in the prevalence tables (Tables B1-B14). It refers
to students that report using either cocaine or crack, or both cocaine and crack. Since there is some
overlap between students who have used cocaine and those who have used crack, the percentages of
respondents in the "Cocaine or Crack" category should not be a simple sum of percentages in the
individual "Cocaine" and "Crack" categories. It should, however, be at least as great as the larger of
the two individual categories.
Illicit Drugs. These are defined as controlled substances and include marijuana, powdered cocaine,
crack, uppers, downers, Rohypnol, hallucinogens, ecstasy, heroin, and methamphetamine.
Inhalants. The overall inhalant use percentages presented in the prevalence tables have been
adjusted to reflect reported use of both specific inhalants and inhalant use generally. Such
adjustments are necessary because some students respond in the positive to specific use (i.e., spray
paint, correction fluid, magic markers, gasoline, helium, Freon, glue, paint thinner, other sprays, or
other inhalants) without responding in the positive to generic use (i.e., "How many times have you
used inhalants?"), while others respond in the positive to generic use but not to the use of specific
inhalants.
Marijuana Only. This reference is found only in the prevalence tables (Tables B1-B14). It refers to
students who report using marijuana but no other illicit substances. The reference to "Marijuana," in
contrast, includes all students using that substance regardless of whether they used other substances
or not.

Prevalence. The percentage of students who report having used a substance or substances.
Tobacco. The category "tobacco" includes the combined use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco.
Conventional Symbols and Format
In addition to figures, there are two types of tables in which data may be presented. These include
general substance use tables (Tables T1-T7, A1-A15, D1-D17, I1-I9, X1-X5) and prevalence tables
(Tables B1-B14). Data is also available in its raw form in the margins. What follows are several
conventions of data presentation that apply chiefly to tables and margins.
The Meaning of an Asterisk (*) in Tables. When an asterisk appears in a table, not in the Executive
Summary (see below), in place of a percentage, it typically means that fewer than ten students
responded to that item. Asterisks may also appear if data is not available for a district. This would
be the case, for instance, if a district does not survey all the grades in one of the standard acceptable
grade combinations (see "Standard Grade Combinations" in the previous section).
The Meaning of an Asterisk (*) in the Executive Summary (Part III). When an asterisk appears
alongside a percentage in the Executive Summary component of the report, it means that the data so
marked are estimated to be statistically significant at the .01 level from the comparable data for the
state as a whole. This means that in only one of a hundred samples would a difference this large
have occurred when there was no difference between the district and state data. Differences in very
small districts will seldom be statistically significant due to the small number of cases. Differences
that are not marked may be important, but should be treated with more caution than those that are so
marked.
Never Used/Ever Used Notations. In all prevalence tables, a standard approach is used for
presenting incidence and prevalence information. An "Ever Used" category shows the total
percentage of students who say they have used a substance at all, regardless of when or how many
times. A "Never Used" category shows the total percentage of students who have never used a
substance. The percentages shown in the "Ever Used" and "Never Used" categories always sum to
one hundred percent.
Additional columns then provide further information about those students who say they have "Ever
Used" the substance. This includes information such as when or how often use occurred. These
additional columns, when considered together, do not sum to the total percentage of students in the
"Ever Used" category in the secondary reports due to the inclusion of the Past Month percentage
within the School Year percentage (see discussion above).
Margins. The raw percentage of students who responded to each survey item as found in the tables
that comprise the final section of each report. Frequency and percent are shown for each individual
response option. The frequency shows the absolute number of students who gave the indicated
response. The percent is the frequency converted into a percentage of all students who answered the

question. Again, bear in mind that if your district under-sampled a particular grade(s), your overall
percentages will represent "weighted averages." As a result, the raw percentages presented in your
margins may reflect weighted counts rather than actual raw counts.
Surveys excluded from analyses as exaggerators are not included in the margins.

Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use

Introduction

The Texas School Survey is an annual collection of self-reported tobacco,


alcohol, inhalant, and substance use data from among elementary and/or
secondary students in individual districts throughout the state of Texas.
The survey, conducted by the Public Policy Research Institute (PPRI) in
conjunction with the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is
also administered every other year to a representative sample of Texas students in grades 4 through 6 and grades 7 through 12.
Data from the statewide sampling, administered in the spring of 2012, are
incorporated into an over-time database maintained by DSHS to track trends
in substance use so that policymakers at the state level have up-to-date information upon which to base decisions and establish prevention strategies.
These data also serve as an overall standard of comparison for use by those at
the district level to interpret and act upon local survey findings in a similar
way.
The executive summary begins with a section containing a general demographic overview of those who took the survey in the participating district, followed by sections dealing with the various substances covered by the
surveytobacco, alcohol, inhalants, and illicit drugs. The next section explores selected characteristics associated with substance use in the district.
The summary concludes with a section on where students gain knowledge
about drugs and alcohol and to whom they might turn if they thought they
were having a problem.
For a contextual viewpoint, each section dealing with substance use will begin with a brief timeline of the statewide trends over the last two and a half
decades. The data are subsequently analyzed using environmental and behavioral factors. Items that are generally recognized as contributing to the
environment in which substance use is most likely to occur include availability, peer use and parental attitudes. Included in the behavioral category are
activities such as binge drinking (the consumption of five or more alcoholic
beverages at one time), attending class drunk or stoned, use of alcohol or illicit drugs at parties, or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence
of alcohol or drugs.

Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use


As for the actual, self-reported use of each substance, it is important to note
the frequency of such use. Is it experimental, a once-in-a-lifetime act or is
it casual use, a once-in-a-while behavior? Alternatively, is it regular use; a
monthly, weekly, orin the case of tobacco products in particulara daily
habit? Further, data are used to differentiate between those who smoke
cigarettes from those who use a smokeless tobacco product, those who drink
beer from those who drink wine coolers, those who sniff correction fluid from
those who sniff glue, and those who smoke marijuana from those who snort
powdered cocaine.
Some final points should be noted about the data. First, due to the differences in rounding procedures, there may be slight discrepancies between
the percentages referred to in the tables and those reflected in the executive
summary and in the corresponding figures.
Second, some data in this report are marked with an asterisk. Data
so marked are estimated to be statistically significant at the .01
level from the comparable data for the state as a whole. This
means that in only one of a hundred samples would a difference
this large have occurred when there was no difference between the
district and state data. Differences in very small districts will seldom be statistically significant due to the small number of cases.
Differences that are not marked may be important, but should be
treated with more caution than those that are statistically significant.
The percentages referred to in the executive summary that follows were taken
from the tables found in Part I: District Survey Results.

Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use

Demographic Overview

In the spring of 2012, the Texas School Survey was administered to students
in grades 7 through 12 in the La Joya Independent School District. Texas
School Survey protocols, formulated to ensure that the data used in this
analysis has an acceptable probability of error, called for the district to administer the survey to a predetermined, class-specific sampling of secondary
students. In addition, data accuracy is dependent on the school staff administering the survey using established protocols.
A total of 1532 students completed the questionnaire. Of that number, 66
surveys were excluded from analysis because students did not indicate their
grade or age, or because they were identified as exaggerators (i.e., claimed
to have used a non-existent drug or reported overly excessive drug use). The
final number of surveys included in the overall district analysis was 1466,
consisting of:
18 percent 7th graders, 17 percent 8th graders, 21 percent 9th graders,
15 percent 10th graders, 15 percent 11th graders, 14 percent 12th
graders;
47 percent male and 53 percent female students;
An ethnic breakdown that is 3 percent White, 1 percent African-American,
90 percent Mexican-American, 0 percent Asian-American, 1 percent
Native American, 5 percent other;
73 percent say that they live in a two-parent home, and 75 percent
report they have lived in the district for three or more years;
17 percent say their parent(s) are college graduates, and 65 percent
indicate that they qualify for free/reduced lunches at school.

Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use

Tobacco

General tobacco use includes both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products.

3.1

Statewide Overview

Well over half of secondary students statewide reported experimental use of


tobacco products throughout the 1990s. In 2000, however, the number of
these students who reported such use declined slightly (51 percent). This
downward trend continued through the 2002 (45 percent), 2004 (39 percent),
2006 (35 percent), 2008 (32 percent), and 2010 (30 percent) statewide assessments. The prevalence of those secondary students reporting past-month
general tobacco use, which had been increasing through 1996, leveled off in
1998, and began a steady, incremental decline in the 2000 (22 percent), 2002
(18 percent), 2004 (17 percent), 2006 (15 percent), 2008 (13 percent), and
2010 (12 percent) statewide surveys. In the most recent statewide assessment
in 2012, tobacco use fell further with lifetime tobacco use at 28 percent and
past-month use at 11 percent.

3.2

Environment

Thirty-nine* percent of La Joya ISD students reported that cigarettes are


somewhat or very easy to get (47 percent statewide), while 7 percent said
most or all of their close friends smoke cigarettes (7 percent statewide).
Twenty-three* percent of La Joya ISD students indicated that smokeless
tobacco products are somewhat or very easy to get (32 percent statewide),
and 3 percent said most or all of their close friends use smokeless tobacco (4
percent statewide).
Students were asked about parental attitudes toward the use of cigarettes
by kids your age. A total of 83 percent of La Joya ISD students said their
parents strongly or mildly disapprove of kids smoking (85 percent statewide),
while 4* percent said their parents neither approve nor disapprove (6 percent statewide), and 11* percent of district students said they dont know
how their parents feel about kids their age smoking cigarettes (7 percent
statewide).

Alcohol

Alcohol is the most widely used substance among students statewide and in
La Joya ISD.

4.1

Statewide Overview

As the 1990s began, 81 percent of secondary students statewide reported


experimental alcohol use and over the decade that followed, the number
of these students reporting such use decreased in each successive statewide
assessment. This downward trend in lifetime alcohol use leveled off at 71
percent in the 2000 and 2002 statewide assessments, but picked up again
in the 2004 (68 percent), 2006 (66 percent), 2008 (63 percent) and 2010
(62 percent) statewide data. On the other hand, past-month alcohol use
among secondary students statewide has been more varied throughout the
same period, beginning with 43 percent of these students in 1990, dropping
to 37 percent in 1992, increasing to 39 percent in 1994, staying constant
in 1996 and 1998 at 38 percent, and decreasing to 36 percent in 2000, 35
percent in 2002, 33 percent in 2004, 32 percent in 2006, 30 percent in 2008
and 29 percent in 2010. In the most recent statewide assessment in 2012, the
downward trend continued with lifetime alcohol use decreasing to 58 percent
and past month alcohol use falling to 25 percent.

4.2

Environment

Twenty-one* percent of district students reported most or all of their close


friends drink alcohol (25 percent statewide), and 47* percent said alcohol
(beer, wine coolers, wine, and liquor) was somewhat easy or very easy to
obtain (58 percent statewide).
Students who said they consume alcohol were asked where they obtained it
all or most of the time. Twenty-four percent of district students said they obtain alcohol at parties (26 percent statewide), while 16* percent responded
that they get it from friends (19 percent statewide), and 7 percent reported
they get alcohol from the store (6 percent statewide).
Parental attitudes can be a major factor in whether or not a student uses alcohol. When asked how their parents feel about kids their age drinking beer,

79 percent of La Joya ISD students said their parents strongly or mildly disapprove (79 percent statewide), while 7* percent said their parents neither
approve nor disapprove of such behavior (10 percent statewide), and 10*
percent said they dont know how their parents feel about kids their age
drinking beer (6 percent statewide) (Fig. 13-A).

Fifty-six* percent of La Joya ISD students feel that it is very dangerous


to use alcohol (50 percent statewide) (See Figure 11).

Illicit and Licit Substances

Illicit drugs are defined as controlled substances and include marijuana, cocaine (powdered form and crack), uppers (stimulants), downers (narcotics),
Rohypnol, hallucinogens, ecstasy, and heroin. Licit substances are those
legally purchased either over-the-counter (DMX or Coricidin) or via a physicians prescription (Codeine, Oxycontin, Vicodin or Valium).

5.1

Statewide Overview

Just under a quarter of secondary students statewide in 1992 reported experimental use of an illegal drug at some point in their lives (22 percent),
and 10 percent said they had used an illegal substance during the previous
month. These prevalence rates began to climbthe experimental use rate
by 6 percent (to 28 percent) and the rise of the past-month use rate (to 14
percent)beginning with the 1994 statewide assessment. By 1998, experimental use of illicit substances had peaked at 36 percent; however, pastmonth use of an illicit substance actually decreased one percentage point
from its peak at 18 percent in 1996. This was followed two years later by
declines in illicit drug use both in the lifetime (34 percent) and past-month
(15 percent) categories. There was no change in 2002. A new downward
trend for both the experimental (32 percent) and past-month (14 percent)
uses were detected in 2004, continued in 2006 (28 percent for lifetime and
13 percent for past-month uses), and in 2008 (26 percent for lifetime and 12
percent for past-month uses). In 2010, a reverse in trend was detected with
lifetime illicit drug use increasing to 28 percent, and past month illicit drug
use increasing to 13 percent. In the most recent statewide assessment in
2012, lifetime illicit drug use decreased again to 27 percent and past month
illicit drug use decreased to 12 percent.
Marijuana use by those who also report using other illicit drugs appears to
have mirrored the trends for illicit drug use in general over the last decade.
Such use also declined in the 2004 statewide assessment to 30 percent for
those who said they had done so at least one time and 13 percent who reported having done so in the past month. This downward trend continued
in 2006 (26 percent for lifetime and 11 percent for past-month uses), and in
2008 (25 percent for lifetime and 10 percent for past-month uses). In 2010,
a reverse in trend was detected with lifetime marijuana use rising to 26 per31

cent, and past month marijuana use increasing to 11 percent. In the most
recent statewide assessment in 2012, the prevalence of marijuana use stayed
steady (26 percent for lifetime use, 11 percent for past month use).

5.2

Environment

Students were asked how available they believed certain substances were to
obtain. Thirty-five percent of La Joya ISD students said marijuana was somewhat or very easy to obtain (38 percent statewide); 19* percent indicated
that powdered cocaine was easily accessible (14 percent statewide) and 16
percent indicated that ecstasy was easily accessible (16 percent statewide).
Ten percent of district students said they believed heroin was somewhat or
very easy to obtain (8 percent statewide).
With regard to the question of the effects of peer influence on substance use,
18 percent of La Joya ISD students reported most or all of their close friends
smoke marijuana (19 percent statewide). And when asked about parental
attitudes toward marijuana use, La Joya ISD students reported a disapproval
rate of 84 percent (86 percent statewide). Ten* percent of district students
said they dont know how their parents feel about kids their age using
marijuana (6 percent statewide), while 3* percent said their parents neither
approve nor disapprove (5 percent statewide) (Fig. 13-B).
Sixty-eight* percent of La Joya ISD students believe that marijuana use is
very dangerous (58 percent statewide) (See Figure 11). As for how La
Joya ISD students viewed the risks associated with the use of certain other
illicit substances, 82* percent feel that use of ecstasy is very dangerous (78
percent statewide), 84 percent believe that powdered cocaine use is very
dangerous (85 percent statewide), 86 percent feel that the use of crack is
very dangerous (87 percent statewide), and 85 percent believe that heroin
is very dangerous (87 percent statewide).

Inhalants

In general, inhalants are common, licit substances (paints, thinners, correction fluid, glue, etc.) which, when sniffed, huffed, or inhaled, produce an
intoxicating effect.

6.1

Statewide Overview

Nearly a quarter of secondary students statewide indicated they had experimented with an inhalant substance in the 1992 assessment. The number of
these students reporting such use had decreased to 19 percent in 1994 and
1996, but began to increase in 1998 (22 percent). Experimental inhalant use
has been declining in the three assessments conducted in the new century19
percent in 2000, 18 percent in 2002, and 17 percent in 2004. This downward
trend in experimental use appears to have stayed constant at 17 percent,
according to the 2006 and 2010 surveys. Past-month inhalant use stayed
consistent at 5 percent through 1996, increased to 8 percent two years later,
and dropped one percentage point in 2000 (7 percent). The number of these
students reporting past-month inhalant use stayed continuous at 7 percent
through the 2002 and 2004 surveys, slightly dropped in 2006 (6 percent), and
stayed constant in the 2010 statewide assessment (6 percent). In the most
recent statewide assessment conducted in 2012, the prevalence of lifetime and
past month inhalant use decreased to 16 percent and 5 percent respectively.
Data from the statewide assessment in 2008 has not been added to the trend
lines noted in the statewide overview above because the manner in which
inhalant use was calculated changed in 2008.

6.2

Environment

Thirty-one* percent of district students reported that it was somewhat or


very easy to obtain an inhalant (41 percent statewide), 4* percent indicated
that most or all of their close friends use inhalants (2 percent statewide),
and 76 percent said that inhalant use was very dangerous (74 percent
statewide) (See Figure 11).

Drug and Alcohol Information

The influence of substance use education programs may be reflected in students attitudes toward the use of specific substances reported above. To
whom a student may feel most comfortable turning to for assistance with
a substance use problem or issue may help gauge the effect these various
individuals are having on those attitudes.
Seventy-one* percent of La Joya ISD students said they had received information about drugs and alcohol from any school source since classes began
in the fall (58 percent statewide). Of the eight available responses as to the
source of such information, a health class was reported by 51* percent of
district students as a source for information about drugs and alcohol (47 percent statewide), while 64* percent said the source for this information was
an assembly program (48 percent statewide).
When asked where they would go for help with a drug or alcohol problem, 67
percent of La Joya ISD students said they would seek help from their friends
(67 percent statewide), 67* percent would seek help from an adult friend
or relative (62 percent statewide), and 70* percent would seek assistance
from their parents (63 percent statewide). Fifty-seven* percent would seek
help from a counselor or program in school (37 percent statewide), and 56*
percent would seek assistance from another adult in school, such as a teacher
or nurse (41 percent statewide). (Fig. 12).
Since school began in the fall, 15* percent of La Joya ISD students reported
seeking help for any problems connected with alcohol or drug use from someone other than family or friends (8 percent statewide).
