    • Abstract:
      Monitoring the Future (MTF) is a long-term study of substance use and related factors among U.S. adolescents, college students, and adult high school graduates through age 60. It is conducted annually and supported by the National Institute on Drug Abuse. MTF findings identify emerging substance use problems, track substance use trends, publish many scientific findings, and help to inform policy and intervention strategies. The key findings regarding use of various substances by 8th, 10th, and 12th graders surveyed across the coterminous U.S. in 2020 are summarized. The year 2020 was an unusual year for the study in that data collection was halted earlier than usual, in March of that year, as a result of the emerging COVID-19 epidemic. This resulted in smaller samples being obtained that year. How the authors dealt with this disruption (as well as the disruption that occurred in the 2019 study, the transition from students using paper and pencil questionnaires to using electronic tablets) to the ongoing series is described. It should be noted that the 2020 data collection occurred early in 2020, so it does not cover most of the period of the pandemic, nor of its effects.
