Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as well as other OASAS Surveys.
All these surveys are used by OASAS for policy development and planning at the
state and regional levels.
Following receipt of the surveys, all survey forms were checked to determine the
validity and reliability of the data. A small percentage of students were judged
to have returned invalid survey data. For example, students who claimed to use
all drugs at the highest levels of use were eliminated from the final data set. In
total, five separate checks of the logical consistency and validity of the students’
responses were conducted.
Tables 1 thru 5 contain comparisions of your data to larger aggregates of data, if
appropriate. For instance, a school report may also contain comparison data from
all the data collected in your district and in your county.
Table 1 contains a count of the students included in this report. Table 2 provides
information on the number and percent of students surveyed at each grade level
(in order to protect student anonymity, grade levels which recorded fewer than
the required minimum number of student responses per grade are reported as 0).
Table 3 provides information on the number and percent of students surveyed by
sex. Table 4 provides information on the number and percent of students surveyed
by Hispanic status. Table 5 provides information on the number and percent of
students surveyed by race and ethnicity.

shown a link between the risk factor and the problem behavior.
Table 6: Risk Factors That Inhibit Healthy Youth Development
Risk and protective factor-focused prevention is based on a simple premise: To
prevent a problem from happening, we need to identify the factors that increase
the risk of that problem developing and then find ways to reduce the risks. Just as PROBLEM BEHAVIORS

mean that 42.3 percent of all surveyed students in the county were above the

elevated risk or protection.
6. Bars are complemented by a red dash. The red dash shows the comparison
from the highest aggregate level (i.e. usually county for a school report) and
provides additional information for you in determining the relative importance
of each risk or protective factor. If present, a yellow diamond shows the
comparison of the aggregate that is the next level down (usually district for a
school report).
7. A dashed line on each risk and protective factor chart represents the percentage
of youth at risk or with protection for the seven state sample upon which the
cut-points were developed. The seven states included in the norm group were
Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Oregon, Utah and Washington. This gives
you a comparison to a large multi-state baseline sample.
8. The following abbreviations are sometimes used in the tables and charts due
to space constraints:
ATOD stands for Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Use.
ASB stands for Antisocial Behaviors.
PSI stands for Prosocial Involvement.
