Finally, school drop-out rate may have an indirect relationship to youth drug use since young people who abuse drugs are more likely to drop out of school than those who do not. In the 2004 NDCS report, there is a table of annual drop-out rates compiled by the U.S. Bureau of the Census. However, these data seem a bit odd. The drop-out rate in 1996 is reported to be 4.7 percent and never varies more than 4 percent until 2002 (the last date reported), when it drops to 3.3 percent. The U.S. Department of Education has compiled data on the percentage of young adults age 16 to 24 who are not enrolled in a high school program and who have not obtained a diploma or equivalency certificate. These data show that the drop-out tate went from 11.1 percent in 1996 to 10.5 percent in 2002 (last year data is available). This is a decrease of 5.4 percent.
