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 byabsorbing 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. PartII, 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 instrumentexplores 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 newquestion 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 Secondary

4 through 6 7 through 12

4 through 5 9 through 128, 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 self-

reported 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 pointsor 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 whofail 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 respondent’s

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 highlevels 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 under-

representation 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,



5


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 thenumber 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, thedata 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 whohave 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: 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 refersto 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. Suchadjustments 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.

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

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, last administered in the Spring of 2008, are incorporated into anover-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. The summary

concludes with a section that explores selected characteristics associated with substance use in the

district and a final one 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-a-while 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, 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. Second, some data in this report are marked with an asterisk. Data so



2



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."

Demographic Overview



3



In the Spring of 2009, The Texas School Survey was administered to students in grade 6 in the

Westbrook Independent School District (WISD). 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 15 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 15, consisting of:

• A split of male (67 percent) and female (33 percent) students;

• An ethnic breakdown that is 73 percent white and 27 percent Mexican-American;

• Sixty percent who say they live in a two-parent home, and 13 percent who report they have lived inthe district for three or more years; and

• Forty percent who say their parent(s) are college graduates, and 13 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 sucha 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 Westbrook ISD 6th gradestudents in 2009 was lower than that reported by their counterparts statewide.

Environment. Less than 1 percent of district elementary students said some or most of their close

friends smoke cigarettes (20 percent statewide), while 7 percent reported they had been offered

cigarettes (17 percent statewide). Less than 1 percent of WISD elementary students reported some or

most of their close friends use snuff or chewing tobacco (7 percent statewide), and less than 1 percent

said they had been offered a smokeless tobacco product (6 percent statewide).

The influence of drug education programs may be reflected in students' attitudes toward the use of

specific substances. 87 percent of district elementary students believe tobacco use is "very dangerous"

(72 percent statewide).

Use. In the Westbrook ISD, 7 percent of elementary students reported general tobacco use at least

once during their lifetimes (9 percent statewide). Use of a tobacco product during the past school year

was reported by less than 1 percent of Westbrook ISD elementary students (5 percent statewide).

Seven percent of Westbrook ISD elementary students reported smoking cigarettes at least once during

their lifetimes (8 percent statewide), and less than 1 percent said they had smoked cigarettes during the

past school year (4 percent statewide). Lifetime use of smokeless tobacco products was reported by

less than 1 percent of Westbrook ISD elementary students (2 percent statewide), while less than 1

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 Westbrook

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, Westbrook ISD 6th grade students were drinking alcohol in 2009 at rates

lower than those reported by their counterparts statewide.

Environment. Twenty percent of Westbrook elementary students said some or most of their close

friends drink beer, wine coolers, wine, or liquor (33 percent statewide), and 13 percent reported they

had been offered alcohol (30 percent statewide). WISD elementary students who said they drink alcohol were asked where they obtain such beverages. Less than 1 percent of district elementary

students said they get alcohol from home (13 percent statewide), less than 1 percent reported obtaining

alcohol from friends (6 percent statewide), and 13 percent said they get alcohol from "somewhere else"


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, 80 percent of WISD elementary students said

their parents "don't like it" (80 percent statewide). Twenty percent of district elementary students said

they "don't know" how their parents feel about kids their age drinking beer (14 percent statewide), and

less than 1 percent said their parents "don't care" if kids their age drink beer (4 percent statewide).

Eighty percent of Westbrook elementary students believe alcohol use is "very dangerous" (64 percent

statewide).

Use. Fifty-three percent of WISD elementary students reported using alcohol at least once during their

lifetimes (31 percent statewide). Alcohol use during the past school year was reported by 20 percent of

Westbrook ISD elementary students (21 percent statewide).



8



Seven percent of WISD elementary students said they "had two or more drinks" of wine cooler in a

row at least once during the past year (13 percent statewide), while 13 percent said they "had two or

more drinks" of beer in a row at least once during the past year (15 percent statewide), and 7 percent

said they "had two or more drinks" of wine in a row (13 percent statewide). Thirteen percent of

Westbrook elementary students said they "had two or more drinks" of liquor in a row at least once in

the past year (9 percent statewide).



9



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 Westbrook ISD 6th grade students in 2009 was

lower than that reported by their counterparts statewide.

Environment. Less than 1 percent of WISD elementary students said some or most of their close

friends use marijuana (12 percent statewide), and less than 1 percent reported they had been offered marijuana (9 percent statewide).

When asked about parental attitudes toward marijuana use, 93 percent of WISD elementary students

said their parents "don't like it" when kids their age smoke marijuana (88 percent statewide), while 7

percent said that they "don't know" how their parents feel (11 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, 87 percent of Westbrook elementary

students believe that using marijuana is "very dangerous" (78 percent statewide).

Use. Less than 1 percent of Westbrook ISD elementary students reported using marijuana at least onceduring their lifetimes (3 percent statewide). Less than 1 percent of WISD elementary students reported

using marijuana during the past school year (2 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 tospecific 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 percentlifetime and 6 percent in the past year. Yet, another reverse was detected in 2004, as lifetime

inhalant use rose to 11 percent and past-year inhalant use inched up to 8 percent. Beginning in

2006, yet another reverse in the trend was detected as lifetime use dipped to 10 percent and past-

year inhalant use declined to 7 percent. According to the 2008 statewide assessment, 9 percent

indicated lifetime inhalant use and 7 percent said they had used an inhalant during the previous

year.

District Overview. Overall, use of inhalants among Westbrook ISD 6th grade students in 2009 was

similar to that reported by their peers statewide.

Environment. Seven percent of Westbrook students said some or most of their close friends useinhalants (17 percent statewide), and 13 percent said they had been offered inhalants (11 percent

statewide). Sixty-seven percent of WISD elementary students believe inhalant use is "very dangerous"
