* 5th grade survey did not ask this question.                                                                                                                                Responses for 30-day (found on Table 36) and 12-month misuse of prescription drugs are inconsistent for some students. This may be due to the misinterpretation of a skip instruction on the survey or to slight differences in how the questions were worded. Due to these methodological issues, the results for these quesitons cannot be compared to the results from previous years.
