2026 Young Adult Survey

Thank you for participating in this survey! (Para español, seleccione el idioma español en el menú en la parte superior derecha). Mountain Youth is asking young adults between the ages of 18-30 years who live in the Eagle River Valley* part of Eagle County or consider this area their permanent residence to share their opinions about substance use, wellness, mental health, and other related topics. Mountain Youth's mission is to continuously and collaboratively improve the lives of youth in the most powerful ways possible. This survey is completely anonymous and will be used to help inform community efforts to better serve young adults. It should only take up to a maximum of 15 minutes of your time. Some of the questions may be difficult or triggering. We have provided a list of resources at the end of the survey and encourage you to reach out should you want to talk to anyone or access support.

*The Eagle River Valley of Eagle County is inclusive of the Towns and unincorporated areas of Avon, Bond, Cordillera, Eagle, EagleVail, Edwards, Dotsero, Gypsum, McCoy, Minturn, Red Cliff, Sweetwater (CO River Road), Vail, and Wolcott.
