Commissioned by the United States Conference of Mayors, this report is the first comprehensive assessment and comparison of the prevalence of substance abuse and addiction by population centers based on a wide variety of data. CASA conducted a unique analysis of previously unreleased data from the 1999 Monitoring the Future study conducted by the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research and of four other national data sets. This report reveals that for adults, use and abuse of illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco is as prevalent in small metropolitan and rural areas as in urban America. For teens, use rates are higher in rural areas and smaller cities, and these areas have less concentration of resources to respond.
