| Summary: This article about increasing rates of adolescent drug use in the Tehachapi community cites evidence from WestEd's California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS). In Kern County, the survey showed that 68 percent of 11-graders have tried alcohol. The same survey showed that 32 percent of Kern County 11-graders report having been high in the last 30 days. WestEd's CHKS diagnostic survey is designed to provide reliable data to parents, schools, and communities about youth risk behaviors. |
