Methamphetamine Use Varies Widely Across States and Remains Highest Among Young Adults

Methamphetamine Use Varies Widely Across States and Remains Highest Among Young Adults: "A new study from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) continues to show that individuals in the 18-25 age group are the most likely to be using methamphetamine. The NSDUH Report: State Estimates of Past Year Methamphetamine Use is based on data combined from the last four years of the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The combined data from more than 250,000 people who were surveyed for this report give a more detailed picture of who is using the drug than in previous SAMHSA reports and marks the first time that SAMHSA has provided data by age groups within states for methamphetamine use.
