Coming soon! 2022 Minnesota Student Survey data!
Explore your community's substance use and mental health indicators, along with other risk and protective factors. By the end of March, we'll be updating past-month use; Drug Free Community indicators (perception of peer use, perception of harm, and parental and friend perceived disapproval of substance use); and mental health indicators, like depression and anxiety.
Adverse Childhood Experiences data are also available, by county, grade, and gender.
