John Tinsley will present a summary of the Communities That Care Youth Risk Survey results.  The survey is designed to identify levels of risk factors related to alcohol, tobacco, and drug use and to identify protective factors that help guard against those behaviors.  The survey also measures the prevalence of drug use, violence, and other antisocial behaviors among surveyed students. 

 

The survey was administered in the fall of 2006 to students in grades 6-12.  The attached analysis also includes comparison data with the 2003 administration of the survey. 

 

Mr. Tinsley will answer questions you may have.
