Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth
and reduce their risks. The Healthy Youth Survey is given to
students in grades 6, 8, 10 and 12 across Washington State.
Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous.
A Parent and Student Information Flyer has already been
