Facts from NLTS2: Substance Use Among Young Adults with Disabilities (May 2008)

This report was released by the National Center for Special Education Research (NCSER) and uses data from the National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) to answer questions about the use of alcohol, cigarettes and illegal drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, and LSD among young adults with disabilities. The report compares substance use among this population with substance use in the general population, and compares different disability categories and demographic groups in substance use and in the receipt of substance abuse prevention education and services.
