Utah: Low Teen Drinking Rate But Lots of Depression
A report by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Utah has some of the lowest rates of teen drinking, tobacco use, and drug use. But they have the highest rate of depression in the nation. Coincidence? Or are people in general less depressed when they cut loose now and again?
Other oddities: North Dakota has both the lowest teen drug use rate and the highest teen alcohol use rate. Coincidence?

Well these are some interesting unexpected findings? Why unexpected? Because the drug use rates register a constant growth overall. I am glad to hear we can still find exceptions.
