Fairfax County
Youth Surveys
Voluntary surveys have been administered
to randomly selected Fairfax County youth in 2005, 2003 and
2005. The surveys provide insight into the prevalence and
frequency of substance use and other problem behaviors, as
well as positive behaviors by youth. This provides Fairfax
County with a barometer of the effectiveness of the community
in fostering healthy choices in youth and assisting in the
development of prevention and other strategies.
Overall, the survey results can provide
a motivating force for community action around the opportunities
and challenges identified. The survey results are used to
guide the development of programs and services throughout
Fairfax County. Information from youth surveys has helped
direct county initiatives focused on youth, including gang
prevention and teen driving.
