Text Box: *Data is only for grades 6, 8, 10, and 12. Comparing Health and Welfare Regions to School Regions, H&W regions 3 and 4 are combined to make region 3 for school regions. Thus region 3 & 4 are same data when comparing data to State regions.
There is a rising trend of approval for alcohol use in grades 6 and 8 over the past two years.  
However, this trend is reversed for grades 10 and 12.
