Marblehead Parent Survey on Youth, Tobacco, Alcohol and Other Drug Use

Results will also be compared to the outcome of the 2007 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) conducted in April 2007 by the Marblehead Public Schools. The survey results will enable TeamUp and community partners to build a long-term strategy for providing education and outreach to better address youth alcohol and other drug use.

	Questions on the survey will cover topics such as: Sources where youth obtain alcohol and other drugs Parent and child discussions about alcohol and other drug use Community norms about alcohol and other drug use The anonymous survey will be conducted online. Paper copies will be available in all grade 6-12 Marblehead schools, Abbot Public Library, and the Superintendent's Office. The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
