The SurveyWorks! survey was given to students in RI Schools annually from 2009-10 through 2013-14. On the SurveyWorks! survey, students reported on a variety of topics, including substance use habits.
In this report you can compare student reports of substance use across schools and time. Each bar on this chart represents a school with one or more of grades 6-8. The default height of each bar is based on the % of students who reported ever drinking alcohol. To change the indicator displayed, use the attribute drop-down menu. Use the time slider to view changes in substance use over time.
Please note that not all questions were asked every year; some indicators show missing data in certain years to reflect this.
