Reports usually cite recent use patterns by these 2 categories: Lifetime use (have you ever tried ____ at least once in your life) and regular users (have you used _____in past month). Life time use generally reflects what percent of the population has ever tried a drug. Past month users generally reflect people who are using the drug regularly, and may or may not have a problem with it. Sometimes there is information about new first time users or initiates. This information indicates whether the rate of use is going up or down.
