Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2023
Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2023
MISD Communications
Dear IMS 6th and 8th Grade Families,
Our school is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during fall 2023. The survey will be given to students in Grades 6 and 8.
The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, sexual behaviors, abuse, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities, and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous. There are no codes or information used to match a survey to a student.
Please read the attached Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey. This letter is available in 21 languages on the Health Youth Survey website and they are linked below.
