A total of 47,182 questionnaires were processed of which 1418 were from Nebo School District. This represents only 65 of the students enrolled in the three high schools at the time and does not include any junior high students in Nebo, although there were about 1200 junior high students questioned in the state survey. The fact that junior high students were not part of the Nebo survey, but were included in the state report, tends to raise the figures for drug use in Nebo and lower the figures for the State. Marijuana is used most by high school students and 12.2 of the students who responded in the state indicated they had used it sometime in the past. In Nebo, 7.8 of those answering the questions indicated usage of marijuana. Speed, or pep pills, was next in line with 10 of the states students and 7.7 of Nebos students participating sometime in their use. Glue was next at 7.1 for the state and 5. 9 for Nebo. L.S.D. showed the least usage with 4.6 in the state and 3.9 in Nebo. In every instance the drug use Y(as higher among the boys than girls, except in the use of speed. In Nebo, 8.9 of the girls have used speed while 6.5 of the boys said they had. There is definitely a greater use in schools along the Wasatch Front (Nebo to Ogden) than in the rest of the state. As an example, the use of marijuana reaches 13.7 along the Wasatch Front as compared to 12.2 for the state in general. The use of marijuana by boys in schools along the Front reaches a surprising high of 17.5. analysis of the accompanying graphs indicates another surprising fact. Eleventh grade students of last year have used drugs the most. Since the survey attempted to measure all past usage and not the use during last year only, the conclusion that drug use tapers off when students become twelfth graders cannot be made. Rather, it may indicate a definite trend toward greater use by students and this could only be checked by a second survey made at the end of this school year. There is a margin of error in interpreting how reliably students honestly an- swered the items. One reliability test was made by checking the consistency of students answering no use of drugs at all in their answers to the 13 questions with this option. As much as percentage points of variation was observed. The final question (number 21) of the questionnaire was stated as follows: It is very important that we know the real situation of drug usage in Utah schools. Please give us a straight answer. 1. Disregard my answers. 2. Most of my answers are accurate. 3. You can rely on my answers.
