Success Stories

 

"Conducting the IYS at our school has been a first step to identifying how we address the issues of alcohol and drug education and prevention. If we don't have any data about the problem, we don't know how to respond appropriately. The IYS also allows our community to know if what we are doing is working.  By surveying students before and after interventions, we can get a sense of how they are responding to the efforts we are implementing to minimize use."

 

"Being a Deputy Sheriff who works with a local coalition, the Illinois Youth Survey is a great resource of information I can share with our community about the issues affecting our students."

        

“The Illinois Youth Survey is a highly valuable resource that provides insight into the availability of alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21 in particular areas of the State. That data will allow the ILCC and other law enforcement agencies to better identify potential problem areas and to allocate resources where they are needed most."

"By providing insights into the behaviors and attitudes of Illinois youth, the Illinois Youth Survey serves as a useful tool in identifying potential highway safety problems and developing effective solutions to keep our roads safe for everyone."
