Learn About Student Survey Sampling at Feb. 17th CADCA Institute Webinar

Data on the prevalence of youth drug use in the community and the root causes and local conditions contributing to substance abuse is typically collected via student surveys implemented by the state or school systems. However, with the demise of the Safe and Drug Free Schools program and diminishing prevention funding, more and more coalitions are taking on the responsibility of implementing student surveys themselves.

The webinar, “Getting Good Data: Working with Schools to Implement a Quality Student Survey,” will provide coalitions an opportunity to engage in hands-on problem solving to address their specific challenges in implementing a student survey data, including building relationships with schools and tips on survey sampling.

The webinar will address:

• Working with schools to ensure the administration of a valid student survey
• Ensuring appropriate survey sampling
• Ways the coalition can support the student survey

The sessions will feature Allan Porowski of ICF International and Fred Springer of EMT Associates. Dr. Evelyn Yang, Deputy Director of Evaluation & Research for the Institute, will serve as moderator.

All coalition members and stakeholders are welcome to participate in the session Feb. 17 from 3-4:30 p.m. EST. Register here for “Getting Good Data: Working with Schools to Implement a Quality Student Survey.”
