State and County Statistics

The Iowa Youth Survey is a joint effort conducted by The Iowa Department of Public Health's Division of Behavioral Health, Iowa Department of Education, Office of Drug Control Policy, Iowa Department of Human Rights, Criminal and Juvenile Justice Planning and Statistical Analysis Center, and Iowa Department of Human Services.

In the fall of 1999, 2002 and 2005, students in the 6th, 8th, and 11th grades across the state of Iowa answered questions about their attitudes and experiences regarding substance abuse and violence, and their perceptions of their peer, family, school, and neighborhood/community environments.

Survey reports list responses to every question on the survey, providing total percentages and breakdowns by grade and gender. New for the 2005 reports are combined data presented in easy-to-read charts. Thirty-four constructs within nine framework domains are included.  http://www.iowayouthsurvey.org/

The State of Iowa Substance Use Profile was initiated in 2006 by the Iowa Department of Public Health after they received funding from the federal Department of Health and Human Services and Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration's Center for Substance Abuse Prevention to create a State Epidemiological Outcome Workgroup. 

The members of the workgroup include representatives from:  The Governor's Office of Drug Control Policy, Iowa Department of Public Health, Iowa Department of Education, Iowa Department of Corrections, the Diverision of Criminal and Juvenile Justic Planning and the Iowa Consortium for Substance Abuse Research and Evaluation at the University of Iowa.
