Dear Students,
We are asking students to share their thoughts and experiences about school climate, stress, and substance use. Your answers will help us improve programs that support healthy choices for students.
What You Will Do
If you agree, you will complete an online survey that takes about 10–12 minutes. The questions ask about things like how connected you feel to school, how you cope with stress, and whether you have seen or used substances such as alcohol, vaping products, or marijuana.
