Your task is to use statistical evidence from one or both of these surveys to evaluate claims in the ONDCP report and the news media about a “growing problem” of alcohol use among teenage women. Are girls really using alcohol more than boys? What does the evidence from recent surveys actually show about “alarming trends” in alcohol use among girls? Be sure to base your answers to these or other questions raised by the 2006 “Girls and Drugs” report on solid evidence from one or both of these national surveys rather than on speculation.
