Healthy Youth Survey
Q: Which schools participate?
A: Washington state schools with 6th, 8th, 10th or 12th graders, every other year in October (8th-26th)
Q: Why should my school participate?
A: This survey provides important information about students in Tacoma, and across Washington which can be used to guide school policy and programs, and inform how to target interventions. Each school will receive a summary of its results (provided that student anonymity is protected by having at least 15 valid surveys completed per given grade level), trends, changes and patterns over time can provide evidence for important issues identified. The survey also provides very useful data to state agencies, county prevention coordinators, community mobilization coalitions, community public health and safety networks, and others so they can support students and school programs.
