Washington State Healthy Youth Survey

Madison 6th and 8th graders will participate in the Healthy Youth Survey in their Science classes on Friday, October 29. The 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. Parents may request their student opt out of the survey by emailing Sue Quigley, 8^th grade counselor.
