Data Validity
• Survey was anonymous and administered during school day
• 1,707 in grades 7 – 12 were surveyed • Students were read instructions; environment was
quiet • Based on Search Institute analysis, 4% were
eliminated due to:•Inconsistent Reponses•Missing data on 40 or more items•Unrealistically high levels of alcohol or other
use•Misreporting a grade level other than those
surveyed
What We Looked for in the Report
• Use rates and patterns for alcohol, tobacco marijuana and other illicit drugs
• Youth perspective on personal strengths and challenges reported as developmental assets
• Patterns in reported findings (by grade levels, gender) and where we need additional data
• Information to direct our coalition efforts to have the greatest impact

Taking Action: Galvanizing Our Community
• All youth need assets and everyone in Madison can build assets
• To build assets relationships are crucial
• Our collective message to our youth needs to be consistent
