Youth Alcohol Abuse Statistics
Federal Gov Article, Feb 16, 2005
Overall, the differences in major demographic characteristics between alcohol only admissions aged 18-20 and those for alcohol with a secondary substance were quite small. Among admissions aged 18-20, admissions for abuse of alcohol only differed little from admissions for primary alcohol abuse with a secondary drug in terms of race/ethnicity. Alcohol only admissions were slightly less likely to be Black (6 percent) than admissions for alcohol with a secondary drug (10 percent). All remaining differences between alcohol only and alcohol with a secondary drug admissions were less than 3 percent.
Almost one quarter (23 percent) of primary alcohol admissions aged 18-20 were female (23 percent of alcohol only admissions; 22 percent of admissions with alcohol with a secondary drug). This was notably lower than the proportion of females among TEDS admissions as a whole in 2001 (30 percent)
