1 INTRODUCTION
This is a report of key findings from the Oregon Student Wellness Survey, a surveyof 6th, 8th and 11th grade youth, conducted in the spring of 2010. The OregonStudent Wellness Survey is an anonymous and voluntary survey sponsored by theOregon Department of Human Services (DHS) in collaboration with the OregonDepartment of Education. DHS contracted with International Survey Associatesto recruit schools, administer the survey and report survey results. The surveywas available free of charge to all Oregon schools that chose to participate includ-ing public, charter and private. Schools that agreed to participate in the OregonStudent Wellness Survey were given the option of administering the survey eitheronline over the Internet or by paper and pencil with the schools determining whichmethod would be best for their particular circumstances.
The Oregon Student Wellness Survey was designed to assess a wide range of topicsthat included school climate, positive youth development, mental health, substanceuse, problem gambling, fighting and other problem behaviors. In addition thesurvey collected information about risk and protective factors associated with thesebehaviors.
Student Wellness Survey results are used by schools, state and local agencies, or-ganizations and communities to assess and monitor the health and well being ofOregon youth and the environments in which they live. Student Wellness Surveydata can serve as a valuable tool for program planning, implementation, and eval-uation. The data are essential information for communications with legislators andthe public, and communities and local agencies will find the data improves theirability to procure funding by providing the baseline data needed for grant writing.In these ways, schools, communities and policy makers will find themselves poisedto make effective decisions about health related policies, services, programs andeducational activities.
The Oregon Student Wellness Survey was designed as a split survey. The 6th gradeversion of the survey consisted of a subset of the questions found on the 8th and11th grade versions. In order to provide results that spanned all grade levels in asingle report, the data for questions that did not appear on the 6th grade versionappear in this report as missing.
This report is divided into topic specific sections. Each section provides a briefoverview of the topic, followed by summary data tables that include results for allthree grades and compares local data to that of the state. The state data for thisreport has been weighted based on enrollment numbers. The county data in thisreport has also been weighted.
Your questions, concerns and comments are invited. For more information aboutthe theory behind the content of the Oregon Student Wellness Survey or how touse survey results for prevention planning, contact:

2 SCHOOL CLIMATE
School climate is an important issue to parents, administrators and the commu-nity. The environment within a school directly impacts students’ academic, social,emotional and mental states. Respectful, supportive relationships among students,teachers and parents are fundamental. When students have opportunities to col-laborate and share a sense of purpose and ideals, students, faculty and staff lookforward to walking through the schoolhouse door. When students are attachedto school and to prosocial teachers and peers, they are more likely to behave inprosocial ways themselves, and to avoid engaging in high-risk behaviors.
There is strong evidence that the learning environment influences student attach-ment to school. Classroom and school interventions that make the learning environ-ment safer, more caring, better managed and highly participatory and that enhancestudents’ social competence have been shown to increase student attachment toschool. A comprehensive assessment of school climate involves input from students,faculty and staff on a wide range of topics. The data collected with the OregonStudent Wellness Survey deals exclusively with the student perception aspect ofschool climate. It provides an assessment of whether students feel they belong, arevalued and physically and emotionally safe at school.
2.1 Supportive Atmosphere
In supportive atmospheres students feel more comfortable approaching and inter-acting with teachers and peers, thereby strengthening their relationships.

2.2 Attachment to School
Students who feel their courses are interesting, assignments are important, andwhat they are learning in school will be valuable to them later in life, are betterprepared to make successful transitions after graduation. Young people who do notfeel a part of society, are not bound by rules, don’t believe in trying to be successfulor responsible are at high risk of academic failure and developing mental, emotionalor behavioral disorders.
The table below reports the percentage of students that reported ”often” or ”almostalways.” for the first three questions, ”very interesting” or ”quite interesting” forthe fouth question and ”very important” or ”quite important” for the fifth question.

When young people are given many opportunities to participate meaningfully inschool activities that are important to them, they are less likely to engage in prob-lem behaviors. When opportunities are available for positive participation outsideof class, children are less likely to engage in substance use, and other problembehaviors.
The table below shows the percentage of students that agree with the followingstatements about their school.

2.4 Safe Environment
Students who are harassed, feel unsafe or otherwise victimized are more likely to cutclasses, skip school, feel depressed or are involved in problem behaviors. Compre-hensive discipline, positive behavior support and anti-bullying programs in schoolshave been shown to reduce the incidence of harassment.

3 POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT
High levels of positive youth development are strongly associated with increasedhealthy behaviors and decreased risk behaviors among youth. In 2006, DHS PublicHealth Division and the Oregon Commission on Children and Families establisheda statewide benchmark to measure Positive Youth Development (PYD) amongOregon 8th and 11th graders.
3.1 PYD Benchmark
The benchmark consists of 6 questions. Each measures a different component ofPYD: physical health, emotional/mental health, competence, confidence, supportand service. Students that answer at least 5 of the 6 questions in a positive manner(i.e., excellent/very good/good or very much/pretty much true) are considered tohave met the state benchmark.
Table 11: PYD Benchmark
Grade 8 Grade 11County State County State
Strong positive youth development 64.0 60.3 69.2 66.0
Weak positive youth development 36.0 39.7 30.8 34.0
Percentages exclude missing answers.
This item was not asked on the 6th grade survey.
3.2 General Health
Two questions are asked as an assessment of student health. The following tablereports the percentage of students that responded to the questions with ”good”,”very good”, or ”excellent.”

4 MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH
Good mental and emotional health makes it easier for youth to establish construc-tive interpersonal relationships, succeed in school and make a successful transitioninto the workforce. Depression and psychological distress can interfere with the de-velopment of positive teacher and peer relationships. Youth with depression or highlevels of psychological distress may find it difficult to focus on academics. Theyare more likely to smoke, drink alcohol or use other drugs and they are at increasedrisk of suicide.
The Oregon Student Wellness Survey asks questions about emotional and mentalhealth, depression, suicide thoughts and suicide attempts. The survey also asksa series of five questions known as the Mental Health Inventory (MHI-5). Whenresponses for all five are considered together, the result is an estimate of the levelof psychological distress that youth are experiencing. MHI-5 scores range from fiveto 30. Scores of 21 or higher are an indication that youth may be experiencing amental health concern that requires further assessment.
4.1 Psychological Distress
This table shows the percentage of students with high levels of psychological distressduring the past 30 days based on an MHI-5 score of 21 or higher.

5 PROBLEM GAMBLING
Students today are increasingly being exposed to gambling opportunities - on theInternet, in the community, at home and even at church - so it’s no surprise thatproblems associated with gambling are being seen in youth. It’s generally notperceived nor treated as risky, yet research shows that youth who gamble are muchmore likely to engage in other risky behaviors such as drinking, smoking and usingdrugs and some of them will go on to develop serious gambling problems.
The adolescent brain is developmentally inclined towards risk, minimal considerationof consequences, preference for stimulation and novelty, all of which gambling offersin abundance.
The Oregon Student Wellness Survey asks a series of questions that address andmeasure various gambling activities. Students were asked questions regarding thetypes of gambling they participated in, their feelings about being involved in gam-bling and the degree to which parents and teachers have communicated to thestudents the risks involved in engaging in this particular activity.
Gambling can be addictive, yet most youth and parents treat it as harmless en-tertainment. The following tables and charts contain data on gambling questions.These percentages are provided by grade level and statewide data are included forcomparison purposes. For more information on youth gambling in Oregon, includingmore data and educational resources, go to www.problemgamblingprevention.org
5.1 Types of Gambling
Gambling involves betting anything of value (money, a watch, soda, etc.) on a gameor event. The following table shows the percentage of students that participatedin these types of gambling in the last 30 days.

5.2 Risk of Problem Gambling
Most youth don’t have large sums of money to spend on gambling, so this measuremust be looked at within that context. The fact that youth are spending anymoney on a potentially addictive behavior is of concern, and some youth spendsignificant amounts on it. Even those who spend a small amount of money arestill ”spending” time and attention on gambling at the expense of other activitiesand responsibilities. By the time they get into college, where problem gamblingrates are among the highest and the average college student gets 25 credit cardsolicitations a year, some youth have developed seemingly innocent gambling habitsthat will cost them dearly.
The following table shows the amount of money 8th and 11th grade students betin any form (lottery, card games, bingo, Internet, sports, with friends) in the pastthree months.

This item was not asked on the 6th grade survey.
The next table shows the percentage of 8th and 11th grade students that reportedthe following signs of problem gambling in the last 12 months. The last twoquestions (lied about/bet more) are based on a valid and reliable problem gamblingscreening instrument which has been used for many years; saying yes to either ofthese is highly correlated to a potential gambling problem and indicates a need forfurther assessment by a trained counselor.

6 SUBSTANCE USE
Smoking is the number one preventable cause of disease and death in this country.Most adult smokers start smoking before the age of 18. Of the 20 adolescents inOregon who begin smoking each day, one-third will die prematurely from tobacco-related diseases.
Alcohol is the country’s most widely used legal drug and, despite the fact that it isillegal to purchase alcohol under 21 years of age, its use is widespread in teens. Thebrain goes through dynamic change during adolescence, and alcohol can seriouslydamage long- and short-term growth processes. The American Medical Associationwarns that damage from alcohol at this time can be irreversible.
Marijuana is the country’s most widely used illicit drug. Nationally, nearly half ofall high school seniors report some use of marijuana in their lifetime. Recent studiesby the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration show weeklyor more frequent use of marijuana doubles a teen’s risk of depression and anxietyand can cause other mental illness.
During the elementary school years, most children express anti-drug, anti-crime andpro-social attitudes and have difficulty imagining why people use drugs. However,in middle school, as more youth are exposed to others who use cigarettes, alcohol orother drugs, their attitudes often shift toward greater acceptance of these behaviors.

6.3 Average Age of First Use
Onset of drug use prior to the age of 15 is associated with a much greater risk ofdeveloping dependency. The earlier the onset of any substance use, the greater theinvolvement in other drug use and the greater the frequency of use. Later age ofonset of substance use has been shown to predict lower drug involvement and agreater probability of discontinuation of use.
Among students that have ever used, the table below shows the average age (inyears) when they first...

6.4 Factors Associated with Initiation of Substance Use
This section reports on a variety of factors associated with initiation of substanceuse. Easy availability, attitudes about use, perceptions about the risk of harm fromuse and communication about substance use all influence whether young peoplechoose to use tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.
6.5 Availability
Adolescents that report easy availability of cigarettes, alcohol, marijuana, and otherillegal drugs are more likely to use these substances. Research has shown thatlegal restrictions on alcohol and tobacco use, such as raising the legal drinkingage, restricting smoking in public, and increased taxation have been followed bydecreases in consumption.
The table below shows the percentage of students that said it would be ”easy” or”very easy” for the student to get...

6.6 Parental Attitude toward Substance Use
In families where parents are heavy users of alcohol, use illegal drugs or are tolerantof children’s use, adolescents are more likely to engage in substance use. The riskis further increased if parents involve children in their own using behavior such asasking the child to light the parent’s cigarette or get the parent a beer from therefrigerator.
The Student Wellness Survey asks students about how their parents would feelif the student used alcohol, cigarettes or marijuana. The table below reports thepercentage of students that said their parents feel it would be ”wrong” or ”verywrong” for youth to...

7 DRUG FREE COMMUNITIES COREMEASURES
The Drug-Free Communities (DFC) Support Program, administered by the Centerfor Substance Abuse Prevention, requests specific data which are typically referredto as the Core Measures. Grantees are required to report on three drug categories:tobacco, alcohol and marijuana. A number of Oregon DFCs focus on other sub-stances, so this report also includes 30-day use data for binge drinking, prescriptiondrugs, methamphetamines, and any illicit drugs other than marijuana.
Data in the tables that follow are provided by grade level. For each drug, andat each grade level, the percentage of students who responded positively to thequestion and the number of students who responded to the question are reported.For Average Age of Onset, the average age of first use in years and the number ofstudents using is reported. The possible responses to this question range from 10or under to 17 or older. The table shows the average age of onset of use by thosestudents who answered the question with a response other than ”never used.”

8 RISK AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS
Risk and protective factor-focused prevention is based on a simple premise: toprevent a problem from happening, identify the factors that increase the risk of thatproblem developing and then find ways to reduce the risks. The Social DevelopmentResearch Group at the University of Washington defined a set of risk factors for drugabuse. They include characteristics of school, community, and family environmentsas well as characteristics of students and their peer groups that are associated withincreased likelihood of drug use, delinquency, and violent behaviors among youth.
The research team also found that some children exposed to multiple risk factorsmanage to avoid behavior problems later, even though they were exposed to thesame risks as children who exhibited behavior problems. Protective factors exerta positive influence or buffer against the negative influence of risk, thus reducingthe likelihood that adolescents will engage in problem behaviors. Protective factorsinclude social bonding to family, school, community and peers, and healthy beliefsand clear standards for behavior (Hawkins, Catalano & Miller, 1992; Hawkins,Arthur & Catalano, 1995; Brewer, Hawkins, Catalano & Neckerman, 1995).
The premise of the risk and protective factor approach is to promote positive youthdevelopment and prevent problem behaviors by addressing the factors associatedwith the problem. By measuring risk and protective factors in a population, specificrisk factors that are elevated and widespread can be identified and targeted bypreventive interventions that also promote related protective factors.
The Oregon Student Wellness Survey collects data on an essential set of risk andprotective factors. The tables that follow give the percentage of students whosefactor scores exceed a national norm for each factor. The bars of the graphs indi-cate the percentage of students whose calculated factor scores exceed the nationalnorm for the particular factor. The percentage figures for the state as a whole areindicated on the graph by the red line for each factor. The lime green dashed lineindicates the percentage based on the seven state national normed database. Inthe tables and charts that follow, if, for example, the percentage for a risk factorwas 45.3 that would mean that 45.3 percent of the students had a factor score thatwas above the cutoff for that particular factor. Ideally, risk factors would have lowpercentages and protective factors would have high percentages.

A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLES
This section contains frequency distribution tables for all of the questions foundon the 2010 Oregon Student Wellness Survey. Two versions of the survey wereused, one for 6th grade and another for 8th and 11th grades. The 6th grade surveyconsisted of a subset of the questions found on the 8th/11th grade version. Inorder to provide results that spanned all grade levels in a single report, the data forquestions that did not appear on the 6th grade version were coded as missing.
