ABSTRACT
To determine if decreasing lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students occurring from 2009 to 2019 in the U.S. also occurred in five southeastern states, Youth Risk Behavior Survey data representative of high school students in grades 9-12 in 2009 and 2019 were analyzed. In a classroom setting, lifetime use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants were self-reported. Students nationwide (n = 30,087) were compared to students in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina (n = 18,237). Lifetime methamphetamine use significantly increased from 4.8% in 2009 to 6.2% in 2019 in the southeast but decreased from 4.1 to 2.2% nationwide. Use of cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants remained stable in the southeast while decreasing significantly nationwide from 2009 to 2019. During a period when use of methamphetamines, cocaine, ecstasy, and inhalants among high school students in the U.S. decreased, use in southeastern states did not change. Culturally specific programs and interventions may be needed to prevent illicit drug use in communities of southeastern states where youth remain at risk.
