The following year, Monitoring The Future carried out a similar survey among high schools which showed that 1.8% of eighth graders, 2.8% of tenth graders, and 3.0% of twelfth graders reported lifetime use of methamphetamine. In 2006, these percentages were 2.7%, 3.2%, and 4.4%, respectively. Women tend to use crystal meth more than they would use cocaine.
