METHODS: We examine 15 years of cross-sectional data (2002-2016) from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Main outcomes were participation in past-year school and community-based SUPP (no/yes). Logistic regression was used to examine trends in the prevalence of participation. RESULTS: Participation in school-based SUPP decreased significantly from 48% among adolescents in 2002-2003 to 40% in 2015-2016, a 16.5% proportional decline. Significant declines for school-based participation were observed in all demographic and drug involvement subgroups examined. Youth participation in community-based SUPP also decreased significantly. However, this downward trend was significant only among younger teens, females, youth in very low (<$20,000) and moderate ($40,000-$74,999) income households and in rural areas. CONCLUSIONS: Participation in SUPP has decreased since the early 2000s, with noteworthy declines among Latino youth and youth from rural areas and socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds.p. 426-429Print-ElectronicenAdolescentsAlcohol and drugsPreventionSubstance useTrendsMedical and health sciencesEducationPsychology and cognitive sciencesPublic healthBiomedical and clinical sciencesHealth sciencesPsychologyAdolescentCommunity health servicesCross-sectional studiesFemaleHealth surveysHumansMalePrevalenceSchool health servicesSubstance-related disordersArticle2024-01-0410.1016/j.jadohealth.2019.04.0100000-0001-8817-853X (Salas-Wright, Christopher P)0000-0003-0862-8436 (Delva, Jorge)478798
