​Every two years many of the local school districts in Cattaraugus County participate in the Prevention Needs Assessment Survey for students in grades 6-12. Questions pertain to youth substance use and perceptions of use. Data from the survey has indicated trends in increased local youth alcohol and marijuana use. We are also seeing trends in decreased perception of risk or harm for use. With that in mind, we have designed a survey to understand how parents and/or caregivers perceive youth substance use.  Additionally, we have also included questions pertaining to life changes since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
