NOTE: Any Illicit Drug indicates use at least once of marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), inhalants, hallucinogens (including PCP and LSD), heroin, or any prescription-type psychotherapeutic used nonmedically.

NOTE: Estimates are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach, and the prediction intervals are generated by Markov Chain Monte Carlo techniques.

¹This estimate is the weighted average of the hierarchical Bayes estimates across all states and the District of Columbia, and typically is not equal to the direct sample weighted estimate for the nation.
