Summary:
Gregory Austin, Director of WestEd's Health & Human Development Program, presented the results of the 2003-04 Biennial California Student Survey (CSS) to the Governor's Prevention Advisory Council. CSS has measured alcohol and other drug use and other risk behaviors among California students since 1985. Heavy Substance Use Among California Students, available on the California Alcohol and Drug Programs' website, highlights the need for coordinating prevention strategies among schools and districts, the juvenile justice system, community groups, and student assistance programs.
