The Meth Project and Teen Meth Use: New Estimates from the National and State Youth Risk Behavior Surveys
利用1999至2011年青少年危险行为调查数据,评估反冰毒广告运动对高中生冰毒使用的影响,发现整体效果不显著,但可能减少了白人学生的使用。
In this note, we use data from the national and state Youth Risk Behavior Surveys for the period 1999 through 2011 to estimate the relationship between the Meth Project, an anti-methamphetamine advertising campaign, and meth use among high school students. During this period, a total of eight states adopted anti-meth advertising campaigns. After accounting for pre-existing downward trends in meth use, we find little evidence that the campaign curbed meth use in the full sample. We do find, however, some evidence that the Meth Project may have decreased meth use among White high school students.
