Surveys of nationally representative samples of American high school seniors were begun in 1975, making the class of 2007 the 33rd such class surveyed. Surveys of 8th and 10th graders were added to the design in 1991, making the 2007 nationally representative samples the 17th such classes surveyed.

The samples are drawn separately at each grade level to be representative of students in that grade in public and private secondary schools across the coterminous United States. Schools are selected with probability proportionate to their estimated class size. The findings are located at http://www.monitoringthefuture.org. Accessed 12/11/2007.

The 2006 freshman norms are based on the responses of 271,441 first-time, full-time students at 393 of the nation’s baccalaureate colleges and universities. The data have been statistically adjusted to reflect the responses of the 1.3 million first-time, full-time students entering four-year colleges and universities as freshmen in 2006. Respondents self-reported whether they engaged in a list of activities (including “drank beer”) frequently, occasionally, or not at all in the past year. http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/heri/norms06.php Revised 12/12/07
