a Estimates reflect the percent distributions for each group and their standard errors are displayed below them. Estimates are weighted to the U.S. population of noninstitutionalized civilian adults aged 18 to 49. Significant differences: Past year use among 18 to 25 years olds > 26 to 49 year olds, p = .0004; lifetime use among those without a high school degree > college graduates, p = .04; past month use among those without a high school degree < some college, p = .01. |
