Youth and Community Surveys
Alliance for Prevention and Wellness, in collaboration with local coalitions and schools, helps to implement surveys to school-aged youth. Since 1996, we have complied data from youth in grades 7–12 representing various school districts. The youth survey includes questions about:
attitudes, perceptions and behaviors toward substance use
attitudes and behaviors toward problem gambling
mental health indicators
risk and protective factors.
Alliance for Prevention and Wellness also helps conduct community surveys to identify adult practices with regard to substance use and gambling, as well as attitudes about youth substance use and gambling. The questions on the community survey mirror questions on the youth surveys.
Data Collection Opportunities for Coalitions
The Region 2 Community Insights Initiative
Collecting data in prevention is a vital part of our work and is often a challenge for most coalitions.
This evolving initiative is an opportunity for local prevention councils to collect data from their community in a participatory, ethical and equitable way. We prioritize making data collection needs transparent, our methods accessible, and ensuring visibility of the outcomes. We change our questions for the community every 2-3 months to collect insights about substance and mental health related issues.
