Durham Middlefield LWC Survey 2015

Background

The Durham Middlefield Local Wellness Coalition wants to learn more about adult perceptions and attitudes towards the use of alcohol and other substances by youth under age 21. Through this survey we will be able to better serve our youth with local prevention programming and information on underage drinking and other drug use. Your answers will also help DMLWC identify ways we can support Durham/Middlefield parents and community members. Please visit http://www.dmlwc.org/ if you would like more information about DMLWC.
This survey is completely anonymous and does NOT ask for information which could identify you.
