National Drug Statistics Summary
"In the United States, approximately three-fourths of all deaths
among persons aged 10 to 24 years result from only four causes:
motor-vehicle crashes, other unintentional injuries, homicide, and
suicide. Results from the 1999 national Youth Risk Behavior Survey
demonstrate that numerous high school students engage in behaviors that
increase their likelihood of death from these four causes...[including
alcohol and illicit drug use]" Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report
