What Does This Community Health Indicator Mean?
The California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) is the largest, most comprehensive effort in the nation to assess students at the local level on a regular basis to provide key data on school climate, learning supports and barriers, overall youth development, health, and well-being. The surveys provide a wealth of information to guide school improvement efforts. The CHKS is administered every two years. Currently, a statewide report is published every other odd year (most recent report: 2013-2015) and Butte County reports are published every other even year (most recent report: 2014-2016).
Together We Can! Healthy Living in Butte County is tracking the number of 9th grade students who report consuming at least one drink of alcohol in the past 30 days. Through Butte County’s life-skills curriculum interventions, we would hope to see this trend decrease over time. Click Here to Access the California Healthy Kids Survey
