Substance use by district

Students who drank alcohol on at least one day in the past 30 days. 2024 compared with 2023. Good ●●●

Select a column heading to sort. Blank means the publisher did not report that area; "suppressed" means the publisher withheld a small number; "not shown" means this site withheld it (fewer than 30 survey respondents).

The county column comes from the district-to-county table, for reading county measures alongside district ones. State charter schools and other statewide units have no single county.

Source: Georgia Student Health Survey, state and district workbooks (item: "During the past 30 days, on how many days did you have at least one drink of alcohol?"). Share of survey respondents in grades 6 to 12 answering anything other than 0 days. Voluntary survey; participation varies. Districts where fewer than 30 students answered are left blank, because a handful of answers would not represent the district. The scoping report's recommended source (the GASPS warehouse) publishes no county download, so the survey's district figures are used instead. A matching marijuana measure is in the downloads.
