STMS Student 2026 Post-event Survey

Drug Store Project 2026

We hope that The Drug Store Project educated you one the dangers and affects of drugs and alcohol. We also hope you learned more about those in the community that you can turn to for help. There were 45 organizations and agencies, and 100+ volunteers. We continue to do this in our community because we care about YOU and want to make sure you get the education to make heathy choices.

This is your post-event survey. You will see many of the same questions you answered back in December before you learned about the facts plus a few more. Again, your answers are confidential, so it is very important that you answer truthfully. This survey will also ask for your opinion as we want you to help us improve our program.

Thank you in advance for your help!
