2008 Healthy Youth Survey–Form A

We are asking you to take part in this survey about issues facing students in communities in
Washington. The questions in this survey ask for your opinions about yourself, your friends,
your school, and your neighborhood or community. School, community, county, and state
officials will use the information from this survey in planning future programs to help youth.
Your answers to these questions are anonymous. This means that no one will know how you
answered or which answer sheet is yours. Do not write your name anywhere on the
answer sheet. If you do not want to take this survey now, tell your teacher and you will be
given an alternative activity.
Some of the questions are personal, such as asking about your relationships and whether you
get in fights or use drugs. Some students may find some of the questions uncomfortable or
upsetting. You will be given a list of numbers to call if you want to talk to someone about the
survey or feelings it brings up. The survey is completely voluntary. You don't have to do this
survey. You may skip any question you do not wish to answer or stop at any time. It will not
affect your grades. Other students have said this survey is interesting and they enjoyed filling
it out. We hope you will too. If you have any questions about the survey you may ask your
teacher before beginning. Please take a minute to read the instructions below before starting
the survey.

Instructions

question does not apply to you, or you are not sure of what it means, just leave it blank.

3. Your answers will be read by a computer. Please follow these instructions carefully.

Mark (the little) no if you think the statement is mostly not true for you.
