Summary:
The San Mateo County Adolescent Report 2007 was presented to the county Board of Supervisors by the Youth Commission. The report measured the health of the county's youth by surveying students from 13 private and public high schools, juvenile detention schools, and continuation schools. The report was commissioned to supplement information provided by WestEd's California Healthy Kids Survey, which is required to be administered at least once every two years at California schools that accept federal funds for certain drug and tobacco prevention programs.
