Monitoring the Future Panel Study Annual Report

Monitoring the Future (MTF) is an ongoing research program conducted at the University of
Michigan’s Institute for Social Research under a series of investigator-initiated research grants
from the National Institute on Drug Abuse beginning in 1975. The integrated MTF study includes
annual surveys of nationally-representative samples of 8th, 10th, and 12th grade students, as well as a subset of 12th grade students followed into adulthood from each graduating class each year. Repeating these annual cross-sectional surveys over time provides data to examine behavior change across history in consistent age segments of the adult population, as well as among key subgroups.
