 Underage Alcohol Use: Findings from the 2002-2006
National Surveys on Drug Use and Health
This report is based on combined data from the 2002 to 2006 National
Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) involving responses from 158,000
people age 12 to 20 throughout the United States. The survey is based on
a scientific random sample of households throughout the United States,
and professional field representatives personally visit each household to
conduct the survey.
The report is based on a nationwide study which for the first time asked
detailed questions about the behavior and social situations involved in
underage drinking a problem responsible for the deaths of more than
5,000 people under the age of 21 every year in the United States. The
survey asked persons aged 12 to 20 about the nature and scope of their
drinking behavior as well as the social conditions under which they
drank.
