Youth across the state are being asked by the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) to complete a short survey about substance use and other health-related behaviors. Current Wyoming residents ages 18-29 are eligible for the anonymous survey, which takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete online.
Wyoming Department of Health Epidemiologist Melissa Taylor said areas of interest covered by the Wyoming Youth Survey include: substance use, including alcohol, marijuana, tobacco and other drugs; mental health and suicide; safety of motor vehicles; access to health care and experiences with violence. Participants will have the choice at the end of the survey to enter a drawing for a chance to win a $25 or $100 gift card.
The Wyoming Youth Survey is co-sponsored by the Community Prevention Unit and the Maternal and Child Health Unit; both are part of the Division of Public Health at WDH. The survey will remain open until December with questions available in English and Spanish. The survey is available here.
