2009 Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use
Introduction The Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use is sponsored by the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA) 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. TCADA 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 of Drug and Alcohol Use was conducted in your school district during the Spring of 2009. Your local survey results are presented in this report. Findings from the statewide assessment, which was conducted in the Spring of 2008, will be presented once all the data are available. 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, is bound as a companion volume. It 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 2008 statewide survey as well as to the district-level data from this year. This section briefly presents some basic information about 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. 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 twelve drugs including tobacco and alcohol products, inhalants, marijuana, powdered cocaine, crack, hallucinogens, uppers, downers, Rohypnol, 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. The secondary survey instrument was revised as part of the 1998 assessment. This revision was largely a rewording and/or a reformatting of the existing questions in such a manner as to not disrupt local or statewide over-time analyses. There were, however, a number of additions that were made as part of this overhaul: Rohypnol and heroin were added to the matrix of illicit substances students were asked about; a new question was added dealing with parental attitudes toward cigarette; a new question was added to ascertain the delivery-system methods most commonly used by those students who smoke marijuana; and several brief questions were added to gauge the gambling habits of the student population. 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 2008 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 4 through 6 4 through 5 Secondary 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 2008 statewide survey data that will be presented at a later date will be 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 "Oxaril," 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 hat 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,
4
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 recoded 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 is 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 seven elementary and seventeen 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, have been reformatted this year in an effort to make them more accessible. These tables have been 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 provided in a companion volume. The only change to these tables made as part of the reformatting, and applicable only with regard to the secondary reports, was to the percentages listed under the School Year heading. Previously, the percentages in this category excluded those found under the Past Month heading. As reformatted, these School Year percentages include the Past Month percentages as well.

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 of Drug and Alcohol Use. 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: Medium: When there are fewer than thirty students per grade, a single percentage is shown representing all students. 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). 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. 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, and heroin. 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, gasoline, freon, poppers, shoe shine, 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.
7
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 three types of tables in which data may be presented. These include general substance use tables (Tables 1-24), alcohol tables (Tables A1-A4) 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
8
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 Early ISD Elementary Executive Summary
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 2008 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 plot 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. This is followed by sections dealing with the various substances covered by the survey---tobacco, alcohol, inhalants, and marijuana. This is followed by a section that explores selected characteristics associated with substance use in the district. The summary concludes with a section dealing with where students come by what they know about drugs and alcohol and to whom they might turn if they thought they were having a problem. For context, each section dealing with substance use will begin with a brief, over-time glimpse of the statewide trends over the last decade and a half with regard to that substance. This is followed by a subsection containing items that are generally recognized as contributing to the environment in which substance use is most likely to occur---such as availability, peer use, and parental attitudes. Finally, the use data are then detailed. 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 thing? Or is it a more casual use, a once-in-awhile behavior? Further, use 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, and those who sniff correction fluid from those who sniff glue. Two 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." Figures referenced throughout this report are included in "Part III: Executive Summary."
Demographic Overview
In the Spring of 2009, The Texas School Survey was administered to students in grade 5 in the Early 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 sampling of the elementary students. The accuracy of the data requires that school staff administering the survey followed the protocols. A total of 91 students completed the questionnaire. Of that number, no 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 91, consisting of: A split of male (56 percent) and female (44 percent) students; An ethnic breakdown that is 68 percent white, 23 percent Mexican-American, 1 percent AsianAmerican, 3 percent Native American, less than 1 percent African-American, and 4 percent other; Sixty percent who say they live in a two-parent home, and 20 percent who report they have lived in the district for three or more years; and Fifty-three percent who say their parent(s) are college graduates, and 34 percent who indicate they qualify for free/reduced lunches at school.
Tobacco
General tobacco use includes both cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products. Statewide Overview In 1990, a fifth of Texas elementary students reported having experimented with a tobacco product at least once during their lifetimes, while 13 percent said they had used such a product during the past school year. These percentages inched downward over the next eight years and then dropped dramatically in the 2000 assessment (13 percent in their lifetimes and 7 percent in the past year). These downward trend in tobacco use continued in 2002 (9 percent in their lifetimes and 5 percent in the past year), 2004 (8 percent in their lifetimes and 4 percent in the past year), and 2006 (6 percent in their lifetimes and 3 percent during the past year). According to the 2008 statewide assessment, this downward trend continues among those who reported lifetime tobacco use (5 percent), while past year tobacco use held steady at 3 percent. These overall numbers reflect decreases in the use of both the use of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products, although it appears the more significant movement is in regard to cigarette use. District Overview. Overall, the general use of tobacco products among Early ISD 5th grade students in 2009 was higher than that reported by their counterparts statewide including statistically significant differences with regards to some or most of their close friends using snuff or chewing tobacco, students being offered smokeless tobacco products and past year use of snuff or chewing tobacco. Environment. Twelve percent of district elementary students said some or most of their close friends smoke cigarettes (11 percent statewide), while 15 percent reported they had been offered cigarettes (10 percent statewide). Eighteen* percent of Early ISD elementary students reported some or most of their close friends use snuff or chewing tobacco (4 percent statewide), and 21* percent said they had been offered a smokeless tobacco product (4 percent statewide). The influence of drug education programs may be reflected in students' attitudes toward the use of specific substances. Seventy percent of district elementary students believe tobacco use is "very dangerous" (80 percent statewide). Use. In the Early ISD, 12 percent of elementary students reported general tobacco use at least once during their lifetimes (5 percent statewide). Use of a tobacco product during the past school year was reported by 8 percent of Early ISD elementary students (3 percent statewide). Six percent of Early ISD elementary students reported smoking cigarettes at least once during their lifetimes (4 percent statewide), and 2 percent said they had smoked cigarettes during the past school year (2 percent statewide). Lifetime use of smokeless tobacco products was reported by 10* percent of Early ISD elementary students (1 percent statewide), while 7* percent said they had used snuff or chewing tobacco during the past school year (1 percent statewide).
Alcohol
Alcohol is the most widely used substance among elementary students statewide and in the Early ISD. Statewide Overview In 1990, 40 percent of Texas elementary students said they had experimented with an alcohol product at some point in their lives and just over a quarter (28 percent) reported having consumed alcohol during the past school year. Over the next two years, lifetime prevalence dropped dramatically to 33 percent of elementary students statewide, while past-year use showed a similar decline to 21 percent. This downward trend with regard to alcohol use has continued through the next three statewide assessments, stalling in 2002 at 25 percent who said they had consumed alcohol at least once in their lifetimes and 16 percent who reported consuming alcohol during the previous year. These numbers remained flat through the statewide survey in 2004, but inched downward again in 2006, lifetime prevalence of alcohol use dropped to 22 percent and past-year use dipped to 14 percent. In the most recent statewide assessment in 2008, those elementary students reporting lifetime alcohol use and past-year alcohol use rose by a percentage point each, to 23 percent and 15 percent respectively. Please note that the slight increase in alcohol use in the 2008 statewide assessment is most likely the result of a change in the definition of wine coolers than had been used in all previous assessments. District Overview. Overall, Early ISD 5th grade students are drinking alcohol in 2009 at rates similar to those reported by their counterparts statewide. Environment. Thirty-three percent of Early elementary students said some or most of their close friends drink beer, wine coolers, wine, or liquor (21 percent statewide), and 29 percent reported they had been offered alcohol (21 percent statewide). Early ISD elementary students who said they drink alcohol were asked where they get alcoholic beverages. Seventeen percent of district elementary students said they get alcohol from home (9 percent statewide), 4 percent reported obtaining alcohol from friends (2 percent statewide), and 6 percent said they get alcohol from "somewhere else" (7 percent statewide). Parental attitudes can be a major factor in whether or not a student uses alcohol or drugs. When asked how their parents feel about kids their age drinking beer, 78 percent of Early ISD elementary students said their parents "don't like it" (83 percent statewide). Twenty-one percent of district elementary students said they "don't know" how their parents feel about kids their age drinking beer (13 percent statewide), and 1 percent said their parents "don't care" (3 percent statewide). Seventy-two percent of Early elementary students believe alcohol use is "very dangerous" (74 percent statewide).
Use. Twenty-seven percent of Early ISD elementary students reported using alcohol at least once during their lifetimes (22 percent statewide). Alcohol use during the past school year was reported by 19 percent of Early ISD elementary students (14 percent statewide). Nineteen percent of Early ISD elementary students said they "had two or more drinks" of beer in a row at least once during the past year (10 percent statewide), 2 percent said they "had two or more drinks" of wine cooler in a row at least once during the past year (7 percent statewide), 11 percent said they "had two or more drinks" of wine in a row at least once during the past year (9 percent statewide) and 4 percent said they "had two or more drinks" of liquor in a row at least once during the past year (4 percent statewide).
Marijuana
Statewide Overview. In 1990, 2 percent of Texas elementary students reported they had experimented with marijuana at least once, and 2 percent indicated they had smoked marijuana during the past school year. These percentages stayed flat through 1994, crept upward in 1996, stayed flat through 1998, and dipped slightly in 2000. In the 2002 statewide assessment, experimental use crept back upward slightly to 3 percent and most recent use stayed flat at 2 percent among elementary students statewide. These percentages of students reporting lifetime and past-year marijuana use held steady through the statewide assessment in 2004. According to the 2006 statewide survey, lifetime marijuana use dipped to 2 percent while the past-year use declined to 1 percent. These percentages stayed the same in the most recent statewide assessment in 2008. District Overview. Overall, marijuana use among Early ISD 5th grade students in 2009 is similar to that reported by their counterparts statewide. Environment. Two percent of Early ISD elementary students said some or most of their close friends use marijuana (5 percent statewide), and 5 percent reported they had been offered marijuana (4 percent statewide). When asked about parental attitudes toward marijuana use, 83 percent of Early ISD elementary students said their parents "don't like it" when kids their age smoke marijuana (86 percent statewide), while 16 percent said that they "don't know" how their parents feel (12 percent statewide), and less than 1 percent reported their parents "don't care" if kids their age smoke marijuana (1 percent statewide). When questioned about the danger associated with marijuana use, 83 percent of Early elementary students said that using marijuana is "very dangerous" (78 percent statewide). Use. One percent of Early ISD elementary students reported using marijuana at least once during their lifetimes (1 percent statewide). One percent of Early ISD elementary students reported using marijuana during the past school year (1 percent statewide).

Inhalants
In general, inhalants are common, licit substances (paints and thinners, correction fluid, glue, and gasoline) which, when sniffed, huffed, or inhaled produce an intoxicating effect. Lifetime and past-year inhalant use percentages have been adjusted to reflect reported use of both specific inhalants and inhalant use generally. This adjustment was made because some students responded positive to specific use without responding positive to generic use, while some students responded positive to generic use but not to specific inhalants. Statewide Overview. Inhalant use among Texas elementary students peaked in 1992, as 16 percent indicated they had experimented with some form of inhalant at least once during their lifetimes and 11 percent said they had used an inhalant during the past school year. Within two years, however, lifetime use slipped to 10 percent of elementary students statewide and past-year use fell to 6 percent. These percentages remained relatively flat through 1996. In 1998, however, both experimental and past school year prevalence rates inched back upward---to 12 percent and 9 percent, respectively. Two years later, this trend was again reversed as both experimental (11 percent) and past year (8 percent) uses dropped off slightly, then sank further in 2002 to 9 percent lifetime and 6 percent in the past year.
