Youth Health Survey- Nearly 50,000 students grades 6- 12 (but primarily grades 9-12) were surveyed.
Many schools have received their school reports. Initial contact with these reports are made by RHA’s who are taking the lead role in relation to future follow-ups to assist in developing plans to address any shortfalls that evidences from the YHS results may have indicated. There are some tools available via way of power points to assist communities in making presentations in relation to YHS results. These tools are available at the Health in Common website for easier access: www.healthincommon.ca
