本文的主要目的是系统地回顾了十年来对青少年酒精和药物滥用流行病学研究的一些较突出的发现。我们对大多数正在进行的全国性研究的数据进行了检查，这些研究涉及患者的一生、过去一年和过去一个月使用各种药物的情况。虽然有证据表明某些指标有所下降，但要知道这是比率的暂时变化还是药物使用水平下降的有意义趋势的开始还为时过早。第二个目的是促使酒精和毒品领域更认真地考虑多种药物使用和滥用问题。这是通过显示“只使用大麻”的青年的相对百分比下降，而使用大麻、其他非法药物以及香烟和酒精的青年的百分比增加来实现的。回归和判别分析的数据从1980年监测未来的高中毕业生的研究表明，变量，以前区分用户从非用户也是有用的，在区分类型的多种药物使用者。本文最重要的结论是，被描述为“每日”吸食大麻的人最好被归类为多种毒品使用者。
The primary purpose of this paper was to review systematically some of the more salient findings from a decade of research on the epidemiology of alcohol and drug abuse among adolescents. Data from most of the on-going nationwide studies regarding lifetime, past year, and past month use of various drugs were examined. While there is evidence of a downturn for some of the indicators, it is still too early to know if this is a temporary shift in rates or the beginning of meaningful trends toward lower levels of drug use. The second purpose was to challenge the alcohol and drug fields to consider more seriously the problem of multiple drug use and abuse. This was accomplished by showing that the relative percentage of youth who have used "only marijuana" has gone down as the percentage of youth who have used marijuana, other illicit drugs, and cigarettes and alcohol as well, has increased. Regression and discriminant analyses of data from the 1980 Monitoring the Future study of high school seniors reveals that variables that previously have differentiated users from nonusers are also useful in differentiating types of multiple drug users. The most important conclusion from this paper is that persons characterized as "daily" users of marijuana are better typed as multiple drug users.
