Beginning in 2003, students were given the option of identifying themselves as more than one race. Non-Hispanic students who identified themselves as more than one race in 2003 (1 percent of all respondents) were included in the "other, non-Hispanic" category. Respondents who identified themselves as being of Hispanic origin were classified as Hispanic, regardless of their race. | ||||||||||||||

| NOTE: "Violent" victimization includes serious violent crimes (rape, sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated assault) and simple assault. "At school" includes inside the school building, on school property, on a school bus, and on the way to and from school. Estimates include only the respondents who indicated that it was possible to obtain the specified substance at school. Population size for students ages 12–18 was 25,684,000 in 2003. Response options to the 2003 SCS questionnaire item include easy, fairly easy, hard, fairly hard, and not applicable. For purposes of presenting the data in this table, "easy" includes "easy" and "fairly easy," and "hard" includes "hard" and "fairly hard." Detail may not sum to 100 percent because of rounding. | ||||||||||||||
