Geauga County Regional Youth Survey Completed

During February and March of 2008, a total of 6,936 Geauga County Students in grades 6 -12 took part in completing the Communities that Care Youth Survey (CTC). All Geauga County schools along with Chagrin Falls High School took part in completing the comprehensive survey. The Geauga County Board of Mental Health and Recovery Services wishes to thank all school superintendents, principals, and guidance counselors who gave their time and energy to making the administration of the CTC survey possible. The Communities that Care Youth Survey is designed to identify the levels of risk and protective factors that predict problem behaviors such as alcohol, tobacco and other drug use, poor school achievement, and delinquency. The Survey also measures the actual prevalence of drug use, violence and other antisocial behaviors among surveyed students. The data collected and the findings from the CTC survey will be summarized and presented in three separate sections: ¥ Risk and protective factors ¥ Drug use ¥ Other antisocial behaviors.

A comparison and trend analysis will be completed from data and findings of the 2005 and 2008 Geauga County Regional Communities That Care Survey reports. A presentation of the data results and findings is being planned for this fall.

RESULTS AVAILABLE SOON.
