Explore themes from the WPP youth survey and the Youth Risk Behaviors Survey (YRBS) - how are substance use and absenteeism related? How can we support young people in ways that may reduce substance use and improve attendance with the same interventions?

The Youth Risk Behaviors Survey is given every two years to WSD students. This presentation summarizes data from the 2021 YRBS. We will work with the Vermont Department of Health to provide a similar update for the 2023 YRBS.

This issue brief was produced as part of a project by the Winooski Partnership for Prevention. Through community education and engagement, youth empowerment, and policy change, we work to prioritize prevention so that all Vermonters can enjoy the health and safety they deserve.
