The Iowa Youth Survey is a collaborative effort conducted by the Iowa Department of Public Health, the Iowa Department of Education, the Office of Drug Control Policy, the Iowa Department of Human Services, and the Division of Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning in the Department of Human Rights. It has been administered in Iowa since 1975 but has undergone significant changes over time.
Since 1999, the survey has been administered to almost all of the 6th, 8th, and 11th grade students in the state. As a result, the Iowa Youth Survey has become a "census" survey that reflects the perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors of Iowa youth. In 2005, a total of 98,246 questionnaires were completed, representing 98.4% of the public school districts and 13.9% of the non-public schools in the state.
The data have been reported in various ways to meet the needs of state, regional, and local planners. When these reports do not meet the needs of schools, AEA and DE staff are available to provide guidance and needed data analysis support.
Summary Reports
The results of the Iowa Youth Survey are organized into state level, regional, and local reports so that teams at all levels can use the most appropriate data for their planning efforts. Regional reports on this site conform to the AEA boundaries. Other regional reports including county, judicial districts, DECAT clusters, DHS regions, DPH Substance Abuse Prevention Service areas, and DPH Substance Abuse Treatment Managed Care Plan regions can be found at: http://www.iowayouthsurvey.iowa.gov/. District level reports must be accessed directly from the local school district.
