Healthy Youth Survey (HYS)
Healthy Youth Survey (HYS)
The Healthy Youth Survey (HYS) is a collaborative effort of the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Department of Health, the Department of Social and Health Service's Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery, and 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 Healthy Youth Survey is given every other year skipping 2020 due to the closure of schools. You can see results prior to 2020 by using the navigation on the left side.
When using the HYS dashboard (linked in the image below), you may see some discrepencies in some data as it will take averages based on the grade levels at specific schools and the n size of some student groups.
