One of the reasons that the Monitoring the Future (MTF) project was started was "to study changes in the beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of young people in the United States." Data are collected from 8th, 10th, and 12th graders each year. To get a representative nationwide sample, surveys are given to a randomly selected group of students. In Spring 2004, students were asked about alcohol, illegal drug, and cigarette use. Describe the W's, if the information is given. If the information is not given, state that it is not specified.
