Granite
Bay High School Substance Use Survey -- Details of Cumulative Results
The
Granite Bay
High School Substance Use Survey was conducted in April of 2009.
It surveyed
the
experience of 913 Granite Bay High School students, divided roughly
evenly between all grade levels. The generous participation
by
each of these students was very helpful in understanding local issues
and is very much appreciated. Thank you Granite Bay students.
For
reference, please note that the detailed data below represents the
complete data set (except where specifically noted otherwise).
These results average all four grade levels
together. However, be aware that underlying the average there is a
persistent trend of increasing use throughout the high school years.
This trend can be seen in the charts above for alcohol
and
drug use, and this trend persists throughout the survey data.
In
other words, for any given question, usage by freshmen will be somewhat
below the average, usage by seniors will be somewhat above,
and so
on. |
