Introduction
Since its inception in 1988, the Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use (TSS) has been a biannual
collaborative effort between the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) and the Public Policy
Research Institute (PPRI) at Texas A&M University to collect and analyze information on substance use among
Texas youth. The TSS project has two primary objectives. First, it serves to inform state and local policymakers about the extent and nature of substance use among secondary students in Texas public schools. Second,
the statewide survey provides a standard of comparison for districts conducting local assessments of drug and
alcohol use.
The purpose of this document is to provide a standardized codebook for use with the 1998 to 2014 TSS
secondary datasets (grades 7 through 12). Following a brief introduction to the survey instrument, attention is
focused on sample selection and survey administration procedures. Next, methods for data processing and
quality control are described. The document concludes with a detailed breakdown of all TSS questions asked
from 1998 to 2014.
Survey Sample
The Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (now the Texas Department of State Health Services)
funded the first administration of the Texas School Survey in the spring of 1988. Over the years, the sample
design has evolved, but the goal has remained the same: to achieve representative state results. Although every
Texas school district has the opportunity to participate in the survey every year, only a small percentage are
randomly selected to participate in the state administration during the spring semester of even numbered years.
During these years, students are randomly selected to participate from Texas school districts using a multi-stage
probability design. From 1988 to 2012, school districts served as the primary sampling unit; classrooms were
then randomly selected across sampled districts. Beginning in 2014, the individual school became the primary
sampling unit in an effort to decrease the burden of survey administration on districts and subsequently increase
participation rates. Results for the statewide survey include data from the school districts that were randomly
selected in the statewide sample. Data from school districts requesting local survey administration are not
included in the project’s overtime database.
Survey Instrument
Historically, two versions of the TSS were developed and administered. The more comprehensive questionnaire
was designed for students in grades seven through twelve1 and a simplified version was created for students in
grades four through six. Beginning in 2014, the more comprehensive (secondary) version was administered to
students in grades 6 through 12 and grades 4 and 5 were eliminated from the sample. Therefore, this codebook
will focus on the data collected from the secondary form.
The survey measures students’ use of, exposure to, and attitudes regarding tobacco (cigarettes, snuff, and
chewing tobacco), alcohol (beer, wine, wine coolers, and liquor), inhalants, prescription drugs, marijuana, and

other illicit drugs (powdered cocaine, crack, hallucinogens, uppers, downers, steroids, ecstasy, Rohypnol,
methamphetamine, and heroin). Other sets of questions were designed to assess behavioral correlates of
substance use and students’ perceptions of support available to help them cope with substance-related problems.
The survey instrument has received slight revisions throughout the years for purposes of keeping up-to-date on
drugs and other relevant topics to measure alcohol and drug use trends among youth. However, major revisions
rarely occur and typically result from the need to reduce survey administration time in schools. The last major
revision occurred in 1998 where similar questions assessing substance use prevalence rates were grouped
together in a matrix format to reduce survey administration time. Again, in 2013, PPRI and DSHS revised the
TSS secondary survey instrument with the purpose of increasing the accuracy of responses, preventing
respondent fatigue, and to include responses from students in grade 6; thus eliminating the elementary survey
instrument. The decision to migrate to one form was made based on increased concerns from parents and school
districts about surveying young students in 4th and 5th grade as well as the need to streamline administration
procedures for schools. Therefore, in 2014, the survey involved only students in grades 6 through 12 using one
survey form.
Since 1988, PPRI has administered a paper-pencil version of the TSS. Beginning in 2012, school districts have
had the option of using a web-based version of the survey in addition to the traditional paper-pencil version.
The web survey is programmed in LimeSurvey, a widely used software application for internet surveys, and
hosted on a secure server at Texas A&M University. The paper-pencil questionnaire is in a format that can be
scanned optically, similar to that used for standardized testing. Both versions are designed for anonymous selfadministration by students with the aid of a staff member to pass out the survey or web survey tokens, read a
common set of instructions, monitor the class during survey administration, and collect the instruments or web
survey tokens after the survey is completed.
Survey Administration Procedures
A standardized set of survey administration procedures was developed by PPRI in collaboration with DSHS.
Districts are asked to strictly adhere to the prescribed procedures so that survey administration is uniform
throughout the state. All survey administration procedures have been approved by the Texas A&M Institutional
Review Board. Prior to receiving survey materials, an Information Sheet regarding the survey was provided for
required dissemination to parents/guardians a minimum of two weeks prior to survey administration. The
Information Sheet explained the voluntary nature of the survey and that students may choose to opt out of
participation at any time. It also provided a mechanism for parents to let the school know if they did not want
their child to participate. This form emphasized that participation is completely anonymous.
Survey administration took place in the classroom during regularly scheduled class periods. Teachers in
selected classrooms were given a script to read so that all students would receive a standardized set of
instructions prior to completing the survey. The scripts were provided to the campuses at least a week before
survey administration in order to allow teachers sufficient time to familiarize themselves with the survey
procedures.

Students were instructed to place the questionnaire in a large manila envelope once the survey was completed.
The envelopes containing the survey instruments from all participating classrooms were collected and returned
to PPRI for processing at the end of data collection. Students who were absent on the day the survey was
administered were not allowed to make-up the survey on a later day.
Survey administration for the web version followed the standard Texas School Survey procedures with slight
modifications due to the variation in mode. Students completed the web survey either in their regular classroom
using portable laptop computers, or by taking the survey in the school computer lab. Instead of receiving paper
copies of the survey instrument, students in sampled classrooms were provided with unique, randomly
generated six digit alpha-numeric codes, referred to as survey tokens. These survey tokens could only be used
once and provided access to the online survey via a secure website. To ensure only sampled classrooms
completed the online survey, all unused and used survey tokens were collected by the survey administrator
when surveys were completed. Additionally, PPRI limited access to the online survey during the district’s
scheduled survey administration period.
Data Processing
Exaggerated Responses
Because the TSS data is based entirely upon respondents’ description of their own behavior, it is inevitable that
some students will under- or over-report their use of drugs or alcohol, and to the extent possible, PPRI
attempted to identify and eliminate data from those respondents. Two checks were incorporated into the data
analysis program to identify exaggerators. First, both elementary and secondary students were asked about their
use of a false drug. Depending on the year of the survey, this drug was called “Cosma” (1998-2002),
“Shimeron” (2004-2006), “Oxaril” (2008-2010), and “Damaxil” (2012-2014). Data from students claiming to
have used this substance were considered suspect and dropped from the dataset. To avoid confusion, these
variables have been removed from the datasets across all years.
Second, checks were run to identify any students claiming extremely high levels of drug and alcohol use.
Secondary students were defined as exaggerators if they met one or more of the following criteria: (1) students
reported that they had five or more drinks of two or more alcoholic beverages every day; (2) students reported
that they had consumed three or more alcoholic beverages every day; or (3) students reported that they used
four or more drugs (other than cigarettes, alcohol, or steroids) eleven or more times in the past month. As in
those cases where students reported using the fake drug, data from students reporting exaggerated use were also
dropped from the analyses.
Surveys from “Out-of-Range” Grades
Occasionally, students from a grade that is not technically being surveyed are included in the district sample.
This is primarily a problem where the survey is administered in a non-contiguous grade combination (e.g., 8,
10, and 12). In these instances, the final sample often contains a few students who are in "out of range" grade
levels. Generally, data for these students is not thrown out. Rather, it is re-coded and included with the next
contiguous grade level. A conservative approach is used whereby younger students can be grouped with their
Texas School Survey of Drug & Alcohol Use 1998 – 2014
3
older peers, but older students cannot be recoded to a lower grade. This prevents artificially high levels of
reported substance use in lower grades.
There are two cases in which the "out-of-range" data is dropped from the analyses rather than being re-coded:
(1) if there is no contiguous higher grade with which to combine the data; and (2) if the number of respondents
in "out-of-range" students is greater than ten percent of the grade with which they are being grouped. This latter
measure is designed to prevent a large number of "out of range" grades from obscuring the true grade-level
values.
Unreported Grade Levels
When students failed to report their grade level, it was impossible to determine unequivocally in which grade
these students’ data should be analyzed. When a grade level was missing, an estimate of the grade was made
based on the students’ age and the data were retained. Table 1 identifies the range of students' ages and the
corresponding grade levels that were assigned. If both grade and age were missing, the data were dropped from
the dataset.

Weighting
In many districts, the percentage of all enrolled students that actually take the survey varies substantially by
grade. Though patterns are different for each district, typically a larger proportion of younger students complete
the survey compared to their older peers. If a simple average is taken when calculating overall levels of use,
older students may not be represented in proportion to their numbers. Since these are the very students most
likely to use drugs or alcohol, their underrepresentation in the aggregate scores results in artificially lower
overall levels of substance use. To achieve more representative percentages when calculating overall or
aggregate levels of substance use, a "weighted average" procedure was used. Prior to calculating the averages,
scores for each grade surveyed were weighted by the total enrollment for that grade. By weighting averages by
actual enrollment, over- or under-sampling in aggregate scores is partially alleviated.
Weights were applied to each case based on the strata, district, and campus. The weights were applied so that
the aggregation of students in each campus, district, and strata reflected their proportions in the actual district,
campus, and strata populations. The formulae used to determine these weights are presented below:

The weights for the Texas School Survey of Drug and Alcohol Use are calculated in the following
manner: State Sample
o Campus Weight
 Probability of each school being sampled
 A=Total number of “adjusted” students in school (over/under-sampled)2
 B=total “adjusted” population in region
 D=total number of schools sampled
 School’s probability X=(AxD)/B
 Raw weight
 H= 1/X
o Sample weight adjustment
 A=Total number of “adjusted” students in school (over/under-sampled)
 J= Total number of actual students in school
 Adjustment K=J/A
o Preliminary Weight
 Preliminary Weight P= K*H
o Population Weight Adjustment
 L=Total population (In Region)
 Q= Total population (In Region) after applying Weight (P) for participating schools
 Population Weight Adjustment R=Q/L
o Campus Weight
 Campus Weight Z = P/R
“(over/under-sampled)” refers to the increased probability attached to students in certain schools such as border schools and junior
high campuses as discussed in the ”Selection of Campuses” section of the report.

District Level Weights
Within the selected districts, students were sampled via a simple random sample of classrooms (i.e., a sample in
which all classrooms in the district had an equal chance of selection) picked directly from the district. All
students in the sampled classrooms were asked to participate in the survey.
A weight wilk is assigned to each sampled classroom k , in grade l , in district i :
wilk 
N il
nil
(1)
where,
N il = total no. of classrooms in grade l , in district i
n il = no. of classrooms sampled in grade l , in district i
Since every student in the sampled classrooms was included in the sample, each student’s probability of
selection is equal to his/her classroom’s probability of selection. Thus, each sampled student in these districts is
assigned his/her classroom weight. Therefore the weight wilr of the rth sampled student in classroom k is,
wilr  wilk

Stratum Level Weights
The districts were selected from strata that were formed on the basis of two factors, namely, how urban the
districts were and the levels of enrollment. That is, once the districts were grouped by the degree to which they
were urban, strata were formed by collecting together districts of similar size within these urban classes. Next,
a simple random sample of districts was chosen from each stratum. A few large districts were selected to the
sample with probability one. These districts were grouped into two strata based on the relative sizes of the
districts.

District Level Weights
Within the selected districts, students are sampled using two different methods:
i) a SRS sample of classrooms are picked directly from the district
ii) a SRS sample of students are picked directly from the district
Weighting is specified separately for the two types of selection.
i) Districts in which classrooms are sampled
A weight wilk is assigned to each sampled classroom k in the sample, in grade l , in district i :
wilk 
N il
nil
(1)
where,
N il = total no. of classrooms in grade l , in district i
n il = no. of classrooms sampled in grade l , in district i
Since every student in the sampled classrooms is included in the sample, each student’s probability of selection
is equal to his/her classroom’s probability of selection. Thus, each sampled student in these districts is assigned
his/her classroom weight. Therefore the weight wilr of the r th sampled student in classroom k is,
wilr  wilk

Limitations of the Data
A number of subtle factors, such as sampling error and the limitations of self-reported data, can have a major
bearing on the meaning and/or conclusions of the data. In addition, an awareness of the precise population to
which findings can be generalized is also valuable because knowing who was not included in the survey can be
as important as knowing who was included. In the following paragraphs, some of the most significant caveats
relating to both the statewide and regional findings are discussed.
Survey Population
In generalizing the results of the state and regional surveys, it should be remembered that the data were
collected in public schools. Neither private school students nor drop-outs were sampled, though both represent
significant components of the youth population of Texas. These limitations should be kept in mind when
considering the implications of the data. The findings do, however, represent reasonable estimates of drug use
among the public school population of Texas and offer a suitable basis of comparison for public school districts.
Self-Reported Data
The drug and alcohol use data are entirely based on self-reported information. While a number of studies have
established the usefulness of self-reported information for estimating the incidence and prevalence of drug use,
the validity of these data ultimately depends on the truthfulness, recall, and comprehension of respondents. This
study is carefully designed to minimize the impact of these potential sources of error. For example, students
who report impossibly high levels of substance use or use of non-existent drugs are eliminated from analysis.
Further, differences in recall or comprehension are assumed to be constant across both the state and regional
survey samples. Any reporting bias in the data should therefore be approximately equal in both assessments,
and comparisons between regional and state data should be valid. Nonetheless, the limitations of self-reported
information should be considered when drawing conclusions about the data.
Sampling Error
The statewide survey data is based on a sample of Texas public school students. Because a sample rather than
the entire population of students was surveyed, a certain amount of error is introduced when generalizing
findings from the sample to the population. To gauge the size of this error, confidence intervals for all estimates
are ascertained. In general, however, small differences of a few percentage points are usually not statistically
meaningful. Attention should be focused on large differences of five percentage points or more.
