Abstract:

This report describes drug consumption and drug consequence patterns for Indiana residents overall, and specifically for Indiana's adults (residents age 18 and over) and youth (residents under age 18). We compare Indiana's overall, adult, and youth patterns statistically with the consumption and consequence patterns found in the entire United States. Based on discussions with the State Epidemiology and Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW) and the Advisory Council for the Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG), we have reviewed consumption and consequences patterns for the following drugs: alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and prescription medication.
