About Healthy Youth Survey:
The Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) is a collaborative effort of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Department of Health, the Health Care Authority – Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, and the Liquor and Cannabis Board. The Healthy Youth Survey provides important survey results about the health of adolescents in Washington. County prevention coordinators, community mobilization coalitions, community public health and safety networks, and others use this information to guide policy and programs that serve youth. The surveys occur every two years and are administered to Washington students in grades 6 to 12. The survey is voluntary, anonymous, and free for schools to participate in. The next survey will be administered in the Fall of 2023. Results can help inform schools, parents, and communities of students, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors as well as current health trends and concerns.
