NOTE: Estimates are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.

1 "Binge" Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. By "occasion" is meant at the same time or within a couple hours of each other.

2 Any tobacco product indicates use at least once of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco (i.e., chewing tobacco or snuff), cigars, or pipe tobacco.

3 Average Annual Rate = {(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months) / [(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months * 0.5) + Never Used Marijuana]} / 2. Both of the computation components, first use of marijuana in past 24 months and never used marijuana, are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.

1 "Binge" Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. By "occasion" is meant at the same time or within a couple hours of each other.

2 Any tobacco product indicates use at least once of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco (i.e., chewing tobacco or snuff), cigars, or pipe tobacco.

3 Average Annual Rate = {(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months) / [(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months * 0.5) + Never Used Marijuana]} / 2. Both of the computation components, first use of marijuana in past 24 months and never used marijuana, are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.

1 "Binge" Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. By "occasion" is meant at the same time or within a couple hours of each other.

2 Any tobacco product indicates use at least once of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco (i.e., chewing tobacco or snuff), cigars, or pipe tobacco.

3 Average Annual Rate = {(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months) / [(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months * 0.5) + Never Used Marijuana]} / 2. Both of the computation components, first use of marijuana in past 24 months and never used marijuana, are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.

NOTE: Estimates are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.

1 "Binge" Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on at least 1 day in the past 30 days. By "occasion" is meant at the same time or within a couple hours of each other.

2 Any tobacco product indicates use at least once of cigarettes, smokeless tobacco (i.e., chewing tobacco or snuff), cigars, or pipe tobacco.

3 Average Annual Rate = {(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months) / [(First Use of Marijuana in Past 24 Months * 0.5) + Never Used Marijuana]} / 2. Both of the computation components, first use of marijuana in past 24 months and never used marijuana, are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.
