Reported patterns of minor analgesic use by adolescents were taken from a baseline 1973 survey, and a follow‐up 1974 survey. The differences between the sexes within each year were shown to be highly significant. Trend analysis in minor analgesic use included the year‐to‐year comparisons, the degree of minor analgesic use, and the rate of change in this use. The trends show the long‐term process of minor analgesic use, and support the cause for concern about analgesic nephropathy.
