Student Services Healthy Youth Survey is talked about here. Links aer listed on right.
The impact of adolescent health risk behaviors remains a primary concern of citizens throughout the country. Many
health problems experienced by adolescents are caused by a very few preventable behaviors. Patterns of alcohol,
tobacco, and other drug (ATOD) use and related risk behaviors are often formed during adolescence. These patterns
play an important role in health throughout adulthood.
Washington state has been giving the Healthy Youth Servey for over a decade. Data from this survey is broken down by school district and school for grades 6, 8, 10, and 12. Frequently the response rate for grade 12 is too small for accurate reporting. This data is used by school district staff to plan for drug/alcohol prevention and intervention activities for the next two school years and to assess where we have made impact for the previous two years.
Contained on this site are the results of student surverys for 2004 and 2006. The results for 2008 will be available by early march of 2009.
For each item, local results appear in the first two columns and statewide results appear in the second two columns.
The number of valid responses (“n”) appears in parentheses for each item. Survey items covering the same topics are
grouped together (the item numbering is specific to this report and does not necessarily reflect the item order on the
actual survey).
The Healthy Youth Survey is coordinated by the Student Services department in district administration. Tor questions, contact Student Services at (360) 676-2787
