Use Caution when Analyzing Trends!
The schools that participate in the ICSUS each year are different as the survey uses a convenience sample. Use caution when comparing years as the survey population for each year may be significantly different.
How to Use the Trends Page:
1. Select the question you want to examine
- In the first row, click the Select a question drop-down to view all questions. You can type in this box to search through the list.
- For example, type 'marijuana' to show only questions containing that word.
- You can also filter the questions list by selecting a category in the All categories drop-down.
- Select 'Substance Use' to show only questions related to that topic.
- After selecting a question, click Generate Graph to create your custom graph and data table.
2. Additional Options
- You optionally can filter the data by selecting an age range, gender, race, or ethnicity in the last row. This will show only data for the selected group(s).
- Please note that Indiana's state regions changed between 2018 and 2020. As such, you cannot filter trends by region.
