A 2007 study conducted in Mesa County, Colorado, shows that female teens are smoking marijuana and driving drunk in greater numbers than male teens. The survey was conducted at all five area high schools. Other findings from the study included the fact that girls are more likely to use prescription drugs than boys (30 percent versus 25 percent), and that boys are more likely to drink alcohol (48 percent versus 46 percent) and smoke cigarettes (18 percent versus 15 percent). However, equal percentages of boys and girls participated in binge-drinking behavior (32 percent).
