Summary:
The biannual California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS), a partnership between the California Department of Education and WestEd's Health & Human Development Program (HHDP), shows that alcohol and other drug use is increasing among Santa Cruz County's 7th, 9th, and 11th grades. The survey is the nation's most comprehensive assessment of adolescent behavior and school climate.
