This dataset contains substance use behavior data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97) for three years: 1998, 2003, and 2008. The dataset focuses on youth born in 1984 and tracks three types of substance use behaviors: tobacco/cigarette smoking, alcohol drinking, and marijuana use.
