Description
For sample persons ages 18-44, MJCUTACTYP reports if, in the past 12 months, the person ever spent less time on activities that used to be important to her/him (e.g., playing sports, hobbies, or other interests), so that she/he could use marijuana. Persons who reported never using marijuana or last using marijuana over 12 months ago in previous questions are recorded as responding no.
This variable is part of a series of questions on drug and alcohol use. Sample persons filled this survey supplement out themselves because of the potentially personal nature of the questions included in the supplement. The interviewer was available to provide assistance if requested. The supplement includes detailed questions about cocaine (COKABUSEYR) and marijuana (MJABUSEYR), and general questions about use of hallucinogens, inhalants, heroin, painkillers, sedatives, stimulants, and tranquilizers.
