Iowa Youth Survey
In September and October of 2010, the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) collaborated with schools in Iowa to conduct the 2010 Iowa Youth Survey (IYS). The 2010 IYS is the thirteenth in a series of surveys that have been completed every tow or three years since 1975. The survey is conducted with students in grades 6, 8, and 11 attending Iowa public and private schools. Beginning in 2005, IYS data from all survey years have been presented in school district trend reports to provide a profile of youth behaviors, attitudes, and beliefs, as well as their perceptions of peer, family, school, neighborhood, and community environments over time. In addition to the 2010 School District Iowa Youth Survey Trend Reports, multiple IYS yearly and trend reports are also publicly available at the IYS website: www.iowayouthsurvey.org.
