Description:

More than 95 percent of the schools in Alabama can supply the four Core Measures for Grades 6 through 12. Alabama has one of nation’s highest numbers of Drug-Free Community grantees on a per capita basis. Student survey data is being used in Alabama to address school improvement, school climate, drop-out prevention, bullying, as well as ATOD issues. It’s a win-win for schools and community anti-drug coalitions. Learn how this five-year data set is developed, what the numbers show, and how schools and coalitions are utilizing the data to drive policy, planning, prevention programs and evaluation.
