Percentage of Delaware public high school students who took prescription drugs without a doctor's prescription one or more times. The Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) is administered to students in odd years; however, Delaware did not have a large enough sample in 2019 to calculate statewide estimates. Therefore, 2019 YRBS data are not available.
