Nationwide, 2.3% of students had injected illegal drugs during their lifetime (i.e., lifetime injection-drug use). Overall, male students (3.1%) were significantly more likely than female students (1.6%) to report lifetime injection-drug use. This significant sex difference was identified for white and black students and for students in grade 12. Prevalence varied sixfold from 1.1% to 6.9% (median: 2.3%) across state surveys and varied fourfold from 0.8% to 3.2% (median: 2.2%) across local surveys.
