Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2021 October 27th during Advisory

Cedarcrest High School is participating in the Washington State Healthy Youth Survey during fall 2021. The survey will be given to students, 10 and 12th. The Healthy Youth Survey includes questions related to physical activity and diet, unintentional and intentional injury, substance use, sexual behaviors, abuse, risk and protective factors, and access to school-based services. Survey results are used by schools, communities and state agencies to plan programs to support our youth and reduce their risks.

Participation in the survey is voluntary and the students’ answers are anonymous. Most schools will be administering the survey online this year. No privacy issues were identified in the E-survey pilot conducted in 2019. This year, schools, districts and students are being instructed to disable any recording, keystroke tracking, and video capture software on school-issued devices or personal devices used to take the survey.

Please read the Parent and Student Notification Letter for more information about the Healthy Youth Survey.
