Percent of public high school students that report currently using alcohol, cigarettes, or marijuana.
Data Source
VI Youth Risk Behavior Survey (VI-YRBS)
Notes
Data is based on responses by 63% of all students in the territory's four public high schools. Thus, the data are not reflective of all youth in this age group. For example, research shows that out-of-school youth are more likely than youth attending school to engage in the majority of health-risk behaviors.
