Data Source
Information in this presentation is derived from the Alcohol Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse Among Delaware Students Survey of 2002. The survey was conducted by The Center for Drug and Alcohol Studies, University of Delaware, and supported by Cooperative Agreement #SP08192 to Delaware's Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Department of Health and Social Services. This award is funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. We wish to thank the Delaware Department of Education and the Delaware Drug Free School Coordinators in each school district for their help in conducting the study. The cooperation of all of the participating schools, teachers, and students is greatly appreciated and gratefully acknowledged.
Overview of the Study
Gambling questions were added to the statewide survey “Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse Among Delaware Students” in 1999. This survey is administered annually to all Delaware public school students in the 5th, 8th and 11th grades. All eligible schools participated. The survey is administered from January through June as an anonymous classroom administration by trained personnel from the University of Delaware. Although student participation is voluntary, few students refuse or are denied access to the survey by their parents, who have the opportunity to refuse for them.
