About the Indicator:
Enrollment numbers (n), based on October 1st data submission, are calculated by adding together grades of K-6 (Primary) and 7-12 (Secondary) based on county location. The formula for attendance rate (%) is the Average
Daily Attendance (ADA) divided by the Average Daily Membership (ADM). The ADA and ADM for each grade, school, or district are added together and the resulting figures are used for each grade, school, or district summary. (Grade level ADA/Grade Level ADM) *100 = Attendance Rate for that grade. The attendance rate for each county at the specific grade levels are then calculated by averaging the rates of attendance for that grade in each individual county.

About the Indicator:
Alcohol is the most frequently used drug nationally and statewide and is associated with a number of adverse health consequences1. Reported use of alcohol in the past 30 days is a common measure of recent alcohol use. In Minnesota, it is illegal for a person under age 21 to consume alcohol. N/A indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.
In 2010, reported past-30 day alcohol use among 12th graders was slightly lower in Minnesota than the national average (rate ratio = 0.99:1.00). State rates are from the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS); national rates are from Monitoring the Future (MTF). For more national comparisons, click here State Epi Profile.

About the Indicator:
Alcohol is the most frequently used substance nationally and statewide, and is associated with a number of adverse health and social consequences. Reported use of alcohol in the past 30 days is a common measure of recent alcohol use. In Minnesota, it is illegal for a person under age 21 to consume alcohol.
According to the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, any past 30 day alcohol use was reported by 24.4% of 9th graders nationally.
According to 2013 MSS data, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th
graders who reported past-30 day alcohol use, those who DIDN'T report
alcohol use were 2.6 times less likely to
report past-year suicidal ideation; 1.8 times less likely to report
problems with feeling depressed in the past year; 1.6
times less likely to report feeling anxious in the past year; 2.5 times
less likely to
report self harm in the past year; 1.4 times less likely to report
past-month bullying victimization; 2 times less likely to report not
feeling safe in their neighborhoods; 1.9 times less likely to report not
being able to talk to their parents about problems; and 2.3 times less
likely to report their parents only care about them some, a little, or
not at all.
On the other hand, compared to those students who DID report past 30-day
alcohol use, those who DIDN'T report use were 1.7 times more likely to
report better teacher-student relationships; 1.4 times more likely to
report greater educational engagement; 1.6 times more likely to report
that the adults in their communities care about them quite a bit or very
much; and 1.2 times more likely to report weekly participation in
community activities.
Further, those students who reported using alcohol monthly or more often were 1.8 times more likely to think that most students
in their school also drank monthly or more often, as compared to those
who didn't drink. The association was even stronger in the other
direction: students who think most of their peers use monthly or more
often were 6.7 times more likely themselves to report using alcohol that
often.

About the Indicator:
Acute, short-term “binge drinking” is defined as having five or more drinks of alcohol on a single occasion1. Up until 2010, the MSS asked students about past two week binge drinking; in 2013 they were asked about past 30 day binge drinking. Binge drinking has been associated with alcohol related injuries and deaths, as well as violence and crime. In Minnesota, it is illegal for a person under age 21 to consume alcohol. N/A indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.
In 2010, reported past 2 week binge drinking among 12th graders was higher in Minnesota than the national average (rate ratio = 1.05:1.00). States rates are from the Minnesota Student Survey; national rates are from Monitoring the Future (MTF). For more national comparisons, click here State Epi Profile.

About the Indicator:
Up through the 2016 MSS, acute, short-term “binge drinking” was defined as having five or more drinks of alcohol on a single occasion. In 2019, the binge drinking definition changed to 5 or more drinks for male students and 4 or more drinks for female students. Therefore, trend data for female students CANNOT BE COMPARED between 2013/2016 and 2019.
Up until 2010, the MSS asked students about past two-week binge drinking; in 2013 they were asked about past 30-day binge drinking.
Binge drinking has been associated with alcohol related injuries and deaths, as well as violence and crime. In Minnesota, it is illegal for a person under age 21 to consume alcohol.
According to the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 13.5% of 9th graders and 24.6% of 11th graders reported binge drinking in the past month nationally.

About the Indicator:
These estimates provided by the National Safety Council do not attempt to include "comprehensive costs” but just direct costs of traffic crashes, deaths and injuries due to medical expense, property damage and lost productivity.
Other procedures that attempt to include comprehensive costs (e.g. those used by US Dept of Transportation) result in total cost estimates about 3 times greater than those calculated here.

About the Indicator:
As a depressant, alcohol use interferes with coordination, judgment and reaction time and can have fatal consequences. Driving with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level 0.08 or higher, 0.04 in a commercial vehicle, or any amount at all if the driver is under age 21 is a legal violation and can be assessed from different sources.
Data are reported on DUI arrests and incidents on record1.
State and national comparisons can be found here by downloading the State Epi Profile.
1 An incident on record refers to either 1) a civil implied consent revocation for failing or refusing an alcohol concentration test, or 2) a criminal conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, which is recorded on the person’s Minnesota driving record.

About the Indicator:
As a depressant, alcohol use interferes with coordination, judgment and reaction time and can have fatal consequences. Impaired behavior around motor vehicles puts drivers, pedestrians, passengers and others at risk. Reported are the number of traffic crashes involving alcohol and the percentage of all reported motor vehicle crashes in the county involving alcohol.
In 2013, the percent of all motor vehicle crashes that were alcohol-related was 4.7% in Minnesota, as compared to 4.1% in Wisconsin, 5.9% in South Dakota, and 2.0% in Michigan. State rates are found using the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation (DOT), South Dakota Dept. of Public Safety, and Michigan Traffic Crash Facts (MTCF); For national comparisons, click here: State Epi Profile.

Washington County School Disciplinary Incidents Involving Alcohol , 2010/2011 - 2013/2014
About the Indicator:
School disciplinary incidents involving alcohol were obtained by school district, then aggregated to the county level. Percentages are found by totaling each county's alcohol-related incidents and dividing them by the total amount of disciplinary incidents for that county. Each incident is counted only once; if multiple reasons per incident were reported, only the most serious reason is counted.
The Minnesota Department of Education advises that each school district follow their own definitions in their discipline policies. Minnesota law addresses the possession, use, or sale of alcohol. School policies may include being intoxicated or possessing alcohol at school, school-sponsored events and on school-sponsored transportation. Determination of use would need to be made based upon school policy consistent with state and federal law. Information on relevant state statues include: alcohol definitions, alcohol possession consumption by persons under 21, and possession of alcohol on school grounds.

About the Indicator:
The Drug and Alcohol Abuse Normative
Evaluation System admission form contains 21 substances that a person can be
admitted for, as well as an ‘other’ category.
This indicator represents the primary substance of abuse that persons
were admitted for. An asterisk indicates
that the value is between 1 and 5, and is thus suppressed. Persons were excluded if age, race/ethnicity,
gender or residence was unknown.
This indicator represents the percentage of each specific
demographic group admitted to treatment facilities in Minnesota by primary substance of abuse, out of the
overall total of admissions to treatment facilities in Minnesota for that specific demographic
group. For example, the number of males
under age 18 for a specific race admitted to treatment who reported
primary abuse of marijuana were then divided by the total number of
males under age 18 for that specific race, who were admitted to
treatment for that same year.
In 2011, a higher percentage of people were admitted to Minnesota treatment facilities for alcohol as their primary substance of abuse compared to the national average (50.8% vs. 39.3%). National data are from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).

About the Indicator:
The Minnesota Student Survey question about parent disapproval changed considerably in 2013. In prior years, students were asked about the extent their parents would approve or disapprove of them drinking alcohol. In 2013, students were asked how wrong their parents would feel it would be for them to have one or two drinks nearly every day. Therefore, 9th grade trend data are available only for
2013 and 2016.
"N/A" indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected. "*"
indicates the data are unreliable as a result of small sample sizes or
other reasons.

About the Indicator:
The Minnesota Student Survey question about peer disapproval changed in 2013. In prior years, students were asked about the extent to which their close friends would approve or disapprove of them if they had five or more drinks of alcohol, once or twice a week. In 2013, this question was dropped and students were instead asked how wrong their friends would feel it would be for them to drink one or two drinks of alcohol nearly every day. Therefore, 9th grade trend data are available only for 2013 and 2016.
"N/A" indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected. "*"
indicates the data are unreliable as a result of small sample sizes or
other reasons.

About the Indicator:
Reported tobacco use within the past 30 days (“30-day use”) is a frequent measure of current use, especially among youth. Youth tobacco use is presented here using 30-day use of cigarettes. In Minnesota, no person under 18 may possess, use, purchase or attempt to purchase tobacco products or tobacco-related devices (Minn. Stat. § 609.685). N/A indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.
In 2010, reported past 30 day tobacco use (smoking cigarettes) among 12th graders was higher in Minnesota than the national average (rate ratio = 1.13:1.00). State rates are from the Minnesota Student Survey; national rates are from Monitoring the Future (MTF). For more national comparisons, click here State Epi Profile.

In Minnesota, no person under 18 may possess, use, purchase or attempt to purchase tobacco products or tobacco-related devices (Minn. Stat. § 609.685).
According to the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, any past 30 day cigarette smoking was reported by 10.2% of 9th graders and 21.1% of 11th graders nationally.
According to 2013 MSS data, those students who reported using tobacco monthly or more often
were 2 times more likely to think that most students in their school
also used tobacco monthly or more often, as compared to those who didn't use.
The association was even stronger in the other direction: students who
think most of their peers use monthly or more often were 6.4 times more
likely themselves to report using tobacco that often.

About the Indicator:
Smoking is a risk factor for many causes of death in Minnesota. The statistics reported on this website include lung, bronchus and trachea cancer deaths from all causes—not just smoking-related deaths. It is estimated that 90% of lung cancer deaths among males and 79% of lung cancer deaths among females in the United States are smoking-related. Percent of smoking-attributable deaths may vary from one location to another.
In 2013, the rate of reported deaths from lung, bronchus, and trachea cancer was lower in Minnesota than the national average (rate ratio = 0.89:1.00). State and national rates are from the CDC Wonder Compressed Mortality File. State rates from 2012 and 2013 are calculated with population data from the Minnesota State Demographic Center and the Metropolitan Council.

About the Indicator:
Smoking is a risk factor for many causes of death in Minnesota. The statistics
reported here include lung and bronchus cancer deaths from
all causes—not just smoking-related deaths. Cancer deaths by gender were obtained by request from the Minnesota Cancer Surveillance System (MCSS). It is estimated that 90% of lung
cancer deaths among males and 79% of lung cancer deaths among females in the
United States are smoking-related. Percent of smoking-attributable deaths may
vary from one location to another.

Washington County School Disciplinary Incidents Involving Tobacco, 2010/2011 - 2013/2014
About the Indicator:
School disciplinary incidents involving tobacco were obtained by school
district, then aggregated to the county level. Percentages are found
by totaling each county's tobacco-related incidents and dividing them
by the total amount of disciplinary incidents for that county. Each incident is counted only once; if multiple reasons per incident were reported, only the most serious reason is counted.
The Minnesota Department of Education recommends each school district follow its own definitions in the discipline policy to address the possession, use, distribution or sale of tobacco products on school grounds, school-sponsored events and on transportation to and from school or other school transportation. More detail over what may be considered a tobacco product can be found at Minnesota Statutes Section 297F.01, Subd. 19

About the Indicator:
The Minnesota Student Survey question about parent disapproval changed
considerably in 2013. In prior years, students were asked about the
extent their parents would approve or disapprove of them smoking cigarettes. In 2013, students were asked how wrong their parents would feel
it would be for them to smoke cigarettes.
Therefore, 9th grade trend data are available only for
2013 and 2016.

About the Indicator:
The Minnesota Student Survey question about peer disapproval changed in
2013. In prior years, students were asked about the extent to which
their close friends would approve or disapprove of them smoking one or more packs of cigarettes a day. In 2013, this question
was dropped and students were instead asked how wrong their friends
would feel it would be for them to smoke cigarettes. Therefore, 9th grade trend data are available only for 2013 and 2016.
"N/A" indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected. "*"
indicates the data are unreliable as a result of small sample sizes or
other reasons.

According to the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 17.7% of 9th graders and 25.5% of 11th graders nationally reported any past 30 day marijuana use.
According to 2013 MSS data, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th graders who reported past-30 day marijuana use, those who DIDN'T report marijuana use were 2.7 times less likely to report past-year suicidal ideation; 1.8 times less likely to report problems with feeling depressed in the past year; 1.6 times less likely to report feeling anxious in the past year; 2.5 times less likely to report self harm in the past year; 1.3 times less likely to report past-month bullying victimization; 2.3 times less likely to report not feeling safe in their neighborhoods; 2.1 times less likely to report not being able to talk to their parents about problems; and 2.5 times less likely to report their parents only care about them some, a little, or not at all.
On the other hand, compared to those students who DID report past 30-day marijuana use, those who DIDN'T report marijuana use were 1.9 times more likely to report better teacher-student relationships; 1.6 times more likely to report greater educational engagement; 1.8 times more likely to report that the adults in their communities care about them quite a bit or very much; and 1.4 times more likely to report weekly participation in community activities.
Further, those students who reported using marijuana monthly or more often
were 1.9 times more likely to think that most students in their school
also used marijuana monthly or more often, as compared to those who didn't use.
The association was even stronger in the other direction: students who
think most of their peers use monthly or more often were 6.6 times more
likely themselves to report using marijuana that often.

About the Indicator:
In 2013, a new question was added to the Minnesota Student Survey asking about student's past month misuse of any prescription drugs (use of prescription drugs not prescribed for them). Prescription drugs can have dangerous health consequences if used incorrectly, or if used by by someone other than for whom they were intended.
According to 2013 MSS data, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th graders who reported past-30 day prescription drug misuse, those who DIDN'T report misuse were 3.8 times less likely to report past-year suicidal ideation; 2.2 times less likely to report problems with feeling depressed in the past year; 1.9 times less likely to report feeling anxious in the past year; 3.6 times less likely to report self harm in the past year; 1.5 times less likely to report past-month bullying victimization; 3 times less likely to report not feeling safe in their neighborhoods; 2.6 times less likely to report not being able to talk to their parents about problems; and 3.4 times less likely to report their parents only care about them some, a little, or not at all.
On the other hand, compared to those students who DID report past 30-day prescription drug misuse, those who DIDN'T report misuse were 2 times more likely to report better teacher-student relationships; 1.7 times more likely to report greater educational engagement; 1.9 times more likely to report that the adults in their communities care about them quite a bit or very much; and 1.2 times more likely to report weekly participation in community activities.
"N/A" indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected. "*" indicates the data are unreliable as a result of small sample sizes or other reasons.

About the Indicator:
Drug consumption
by youth is measured here as the number of students reporting any abuse
of prescription drugs in the past 12 months. Students were asked
whether they used Oxycodone, OxyContin (oxy), Percocet, Percodan, Vicodin or other pain
relievers not prescribed for them by a doctor. N/A or * indicates that
the data are unavailable or were not collected.
In 2010, reported past 12 month prescription pain reliever use among
12th graders was similar in Minnesota to the national average (rate
ratio = 1.02:1.00). States rates are from the Minnesota Student Survey;
national rates are from Monitoring the Future (MTF).

About the Indicator:
Legal
penalties for illicit drugs range from prison time to probation sentences. It is important to recognize that these data
capture the governing offense for
which a person was convicted. Because
persons are often not convicted for all offense charged, and this indicator
only counts where the most serious offense is the drug conviction, it is likely
that these data alone underestimate the role of illicit drugs in all
convictions and sentences.

Because persons are often not convicted for all offense charged, and this indicator only counts where the most serious offense is the drug conviction, it is likely that these data alone underestimate the role of illicit drugs in all convictions and sentences. Counts are for adults in prison for drug offenses, by sentencing county, as of January 1st of each reporting year.
In 2009, rates for adult prison inmates sentenced in Minnesota for drug offenses are lower than the national average (rate ratio = 0.81:1.00). Rates for the state are from the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC); national rates are from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP). For more national comparisons, click here State Epi Profile.
Rates per 1,000 population for 2015 data are calculated based on Minnesota State Demographic Center population estimates, as of February 2016.

About the Indicator:
1These data include all arrests for the violation of state and local ordinances, specifically those relating to the unlawful possession, sale, use, growing, manufacturing, and making of narcotic drugs. State level data are available by race/ethnicity for juveniles and for adults. County level data are available by type of narcotic and by gender.
2003 narcotic arrests exclude the St. Paul Police Department.
The decrease in
narcotic arrests from 2000 to 2001 is due to a change in the procedures for
counting arrests. Prior to 2001, the BCA tallied all narcotic charges for each
individual. The BCA's reporting system was modified to reflect the correct
Uniform Crime Reporting procedures which require that only the most serious
charge be counted for each individual arrested.

Washington County School Disciplinary Incidents Involving Illicit Drugs, 2010/2011 - 2013/2014
About the Indicator:
School disciplinary incidents involving illegal drugs were obtained by school district, then aggregated to the county level. Percentages are found by totaling each county's illegal drug-related incidents and dividing them by the total amount of disciplinary incidents for that county. Each incident is counted only once; if multiple reasons per incident were reported, only the most serious reason is counted.
This incident type is used for controlled substances that do not fit under the prescription drug (controlled substance) incident type. An illegal drug is defined under IDEA 2004 as a controlled substance that is not “a substance that is legally possessed or used under the supervision of a licensed health-care professional or that is legally possessed or used under any other authority under [IDEA] or under any other provision of federal law.” 20 U.S.C. § 1415(k)(7)(B). The drug must be on one of the five schedules of controlled substances listed in state statute. This incident type specifically excludes alcohol, tobacco, and prescription drugs belonging to the student offender. This incident type includes the possession/use and solicitation/sale of an illegal drug.

About the Indicator:
The Minnesota Student Survey question about peer disapproval changed in
2013. In prior years, students were asked about the extent to which
their close friends would approve or disapprove of them smoking marijuana once or twice a week. In 2013, this question
was dropped and students were instead asked how wrong their friends
would feel it would be for them to smoke marijuana. Therefore, 9th grade trend data are available only for 2013 and 2016.
"N/A" indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected. "*"

About the Indicator:
The Drug and Alcohol Abuse Normative
Evaluation System admission form contains 21 substances that a person can be
admitted for, as well as an ‘other’ category.
This indicator represents the primary substance of abuse that persons
were admitted for. An asterisk indicates
that the value is between 1 and 5, and is thus suppressed. Persons were excluded if age, race/ethnicity,
gender or residence was unknown.
This indicator represents the percentage of each specific
demographic group admitted to treatment facilities in Minnesota by primary substance of abuse, out of the
overall total of admissions to treatment facilities in Minnesota for that specific demographic
group. For example, the number of males
under age 18 for a specific race admitted to treatment who reported
primary abuse of marijuana were then divided by the total number of
males under age 18 for that specific race, who were admitted to
treatment for that same year.
In 2011, Minnesota had a lower percentage of people admitted to treatment for opioids (16.1% vs. 25.2%) and for crack/cocaine (4.2% vs. 7.8%) as their primary substance of abuse than the national average. Minnesota saw a similar percentage of admissions for marijuana as the national average (18.3% vs. 18.1%). National data are from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).

About the Indicator:
Children under 18 arrested for Part I crimes: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, vehicle theft, and arson. Not all children arrested for serious crimes committed these crimes, and some children are not arrested for crimes that they actually committed. The rate per 1,000 is the total number of children arrested for Part I crimes divided by the estimated number of children ages 10-17 multiplied by 1,000. These rates are useful for comparison purposes and trends, but may be low because of the inclusion of children in the younger age ranges and the inclusion of girls, both of whom have few arrests. For more on this see the Annie E. Casey Foundation Kids Count Data Center at http://datacenter.kidscount.org/

About the Indicator:
Child subjects of maltreatment reports: unique number of children and rate of children per 1,000. Types of maltreatment included are non-medical neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, mental injury, and medical neglect.
Once a report of maltreatment is made, a screener reviews the initial information about the concern and decides whether or not the report meets the statutory criteria for a child protection response. If it does, the agency determines if the allegations require a Family Investigation (FI) or a Family Assessment (FA). State law indicates a Family Assessment response is preferred practice, except in situations that include alleged egregious harm, sexual abuse and/or maltreatment in a child daycare or foster care home. The screener also considers a history of past reports and level of cooperation from a family. In a Family Investigation, county/tribal child protection workers interview persons involved with the report, including the alleged victims, alleged offenders and family members. If there is a preponderance of evidence that a child has been a victim of maltreatment and the harm was caused by an act, or failure to act, by a person responsible for a child’s care, the county/tribal child protection worker makes a determination that maltreatment has occurred. In a Family Assessment, no determination of maltreatment is made. In these situations, a county or tribal worker meets with all family members together to discuss and assess child safety concerns, and reviews the family’s strengths and needs.
Data are reported in aggregate for Faribault and Martin counties; for Lincoln, Lyon, and Murray, Pipestone, Redwood, and Rock counties; and (since 2013) for Cottonwood and Jackson counties. While these individual county fields will show N/A for not available, all combined counties fall within the Southwest Prevention Region, for which the aggregated data are available.
According to the Annie E. Casey Foundation Kids Count Data Center, the rate of children confirmed by child protective services as victims of maltreatment in 2012 was considerably lower in Minnesota than the national average: 3 per 1,000 versus 9 per 1,000.

About the Indicator:
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic experiences, including abuse, neglect and a range of household dysfunction. ACEs put individuals at risk for a number of negative outcomes across the lifespan, including: alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; anxiety; hopelessness; depression; and suicidal ideation and attempts.
One ACE measured by the Minnesota Student Survey is parent or household adult physical abuse. Students were asked if a parent or another adult in the home has ever hit, beat, kicked or physically hurt them in any way. Compared to students who do not report being physically abused, those who do are more likely to report past month use of marijuana (20.7% vs 8.6%), alcohol (31.0% vs 14.8%), and tobacco (23.2% vs 9.5%).
Note: The question changed in 2013 from, "Has any adult in your household hit you so hard or so often that you had marks or were afraid of that person?" to "Has a parent or other adult in your household ever hit, beat, kicked or physically hurt you in any way?"
In 2016, 5th graders were not asked this question.

Note: 5th graders were asked this question in 2013, but not in 2016.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic experiences, including abuse, neglect and a range of household dysfunction. ACEs put individuals at risk for a number of negative outcomes across the lifespan, including: alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; anxiety; hopelessness; depression; and suicidal ideation and attempts.
One ACE measured by the Minnesota Student Survey is sexual abuse by a non-family member. Students were asked if any adult or other person outside the family ever touched them sexually against their wishes, or forced them to touch the person sexually. Compared to students who do not report sexual abuse, those who do are more likely to report past month use of marijuana (28.0% vs 9.3%), alcohol (40.2% vs 15.8%), and tobacco (32.5% vs 10.3%).

- Threatened to beat you up
- Spread mean rumors or lies about you
- Made sexual jokes, comments, or gestures toward you
- Excluded you from friends, other students, or activities

One ACE measured by the Minnesota Student Survey is parent or caregiver incarceration. Students were asked if any of their parents or guardians had ever been in jail or prison. Compared to students who do not have a parent or caregiver who is or ever has been in jail or prison, those who do are more likely to report past month use of marijuana (22.3% vs 7.7%), alcohol (29.4% vs 14.3%), and tobacco (23.5% vs 8.8%).

One ACE measured by the Minnesota Student Survey is parent or household adult verbal abuse. Students were asked if a parent or another adult in the home regularly swears at them, insults them, or puts them down. Compared to students who do not report being verbally abused, those who do are more likely to report past month use of marijuana (19.8% vs 8.4%), alcohol (31.0% vs 14.4%), and tobacco (22.6% vs 9.3%).

About the Indicator:
Note: 5th graders were asked this question in 2013, but not in 2016.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic experiences, including abuse, neglect and a range of household dysfunction. ACEs put individuals at risk for a number of negative outcomes across the lifespan, including: alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; anxiety; hopelessness; depression; and suicidal ideation and attempts.
One ACE measured by the Minnesota Student Survey is household alcohol problems. Students were asked if they live with someone who drinks too much alcohol. Compared to students who do not live with someone who drinks too much alcohol, those who do are more likely to report past month use of marijuana (23.4% vs 8.5%), alcohol (35.8% vs 14.5%), and tobacco (25.9% vs 9.5%).

About the Indicator:
In 2019, the MSS added the question, "Do you live with anyone who is depressed or has any other mental health issues?" In previous years, an incarcerated parent or guardian had been the most commonly reported adverse childhood experience (ACE); in 2019, this ACE was the most prevalent, with over a quarter of students reporting living with someone with mental illness.
Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are stressful or traumatic experiences, including abuse, neglect and a range of household dysfunction. ACEs put individuals at risk for a number of negative outcomes across the lifespan, including: alcohol, tobacco and other drug use; anxiety; hopelessness; depression; and suicidal ideation and attempts.

According to 2016 MSS data, students who said they could talk to their father some or most of the time about problems they are having are 1.8 times less likely to report past-month alcohol use, 1.9 times less likely to report past-month tobacco use, 2.2 times less likely to report past-month marijuana use, and 2.3 times less likely to report any past-month prescription drug misuse as compared to those who can't talk to their fathers.

About the Indicator:
School safety is a factor associated with both substance use and mental health disorders. According to 2019 MSS data, students who “strongly agree” or “agree” they feel safe at school are 1.8 times less likely to report past month alcohol use, 1.8 times less likely to report past month tobacco use, 1.9 times less likely to report past month marijuana use, and 2.7 times less likely to report any past month prescription drug misuse as compared to those who “disagree” or “strongly disagree.” N/A indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.

About the Indicator:
For the first time in 2013, the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS) included modified items from Child Trends Flourishing Children Project. Educational engagement comprises the following MSS questions:
-
How often do you care about doing well in school?
-
How often do you pay attention in class?
-
How often do you go to class unprepared?
-
If something interests me, I try to learn more about it.
-
I think the things I learn at school are useful.
-
Being a student is one of the most important parts of who I am.
Response options for each of the last three items above are: strongly agree (coded as 4), agree (coded as 3), disagree (coded as 2), and strongly disagree (coded as 1). Response options for the first three questions were: all of the time, most of the time, some of the time, and none of the time--these were coded as 1 through 4, with the most positive response scoring 4 and the least positive response scoring 1. An educational engagement score can be created by summing the values for each question, obtaining a range from 6 to 24. Higher levels of educational engagement are measured as students reporting an overall score of 18 or higher; this corresponds to an average score of 3 or higher per question.
In 2019, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th graders who reported lower levels of educational engagement, more engaged students were 2.4 times less likely to report past-month alcohol use; 2.4 times less likely to report tobacco use; 3.2 less likely to report past-month marijuana use; and 3.0 times less likely to report past-month prescription drug misuse.

About the Indicator:
Feeling cared about by people in their lives is a factor associated with protection against both substance use and mental health disorders. According to 2019 MSS data, students who think the adults in their communities care about them “quite a bit” or “very much” are 1.9 times less likely to report past month alcohol use, 1.9 times less likely to report past month tobacco use, 2.3 times less likely to report past month marijuana use, and 2.4 times less likely to report any past month prescription drug misuse as compared to those who think the adults in their communities only care “some,” “a little,” or “not at all.” N/A indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.

About the Indicator:
Students were asked a series of questions about their relationships with teachers and other adults at their schools. The students represented in this indicator reported whether they agreed with the following statements:
-
Overall, adults at my school treat students fairly
-
Adults at my school listen to the students
-
The school rules are fair
-
At my school, teachers care about students
-
Most teachers at my school are interested in me as a person
Response options for each of the five items are: strongly agree (coded as 4), agree (coded as 3), disagree (coded as 2), and strongly disagree (coded as 1). A teacher-student relationship score can be created by summing the values for each question, obtaining a range from 5 to 20. Better teacher-student relationships are measured as students reporting an overall score of 15 or higher; this corresponds to an average of 3 or higher per question.
According to 2013 MSS data, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th graders who reported better teacher-student relationships, those who reported worse teacher-student relationships were 2.4 times more likely to report alcohol use; 2.8 times more likely to report tobacco use; 2.9 times more likely to report marijuana use; and 3.3 times more likely to report prescription drug misuse.

About the Indicator:
Students were asked a series of questions about their weekly participation in activities outside of school. The
students represented in this indicator reported whether they participated in the following community activities:
-
Sports teams, such as park and rec teams, school teams, in-house teams, or traveling teams
-
School sponsored activities or clubs that are not sports, such as drama, music, chess, or science club
-
Tutoring, homework help, or academic programs
-
Leadership activities, such as student government, youth councils, or committees
-
Artistic lessons, such as music or dance
-
Physical activity lessons, such as tennis or karate
-
Other community clubs and programs such as 4-H, Scouts, Y-clubs, or community ed
-
Religious activities such as religious services, education, or youth group
Response options for each of the 8 items are: 0 days; 1 day; 2 days; 3 to 4 days; and 5 or more days. A positive response, presented here, is participation in any combination of these activities, between 1 and 5 times a week.
According to 2019 MSS data, 8th, 9th, and 11th
graders who reported participation in 1-5 activities were 1.3 times less likely
to report alcohol use; 1.4 times less likely to report tobacco use; 1.9 times less likely to report marijuana use; and 1.6 times less likely to
report prescription drug misuse. Use is compared to students who don't participate at all, or who are involved in activities more than 5 times a week.
PLEASE NOTE: The reporting of this indicator changed in 2019, and prior year data were analyzed with the new method. Previously, SUMN.org reported ANY weekly participation ONLY in the following activities:
- Club or community sports teams, such as park and rec teams
- Other community clubs and programs such as 4-H, Scouts, Y-clubs, or community ed
- Religious activities such as religious services, education, or youth group
To access data analyzed with the previous method, or for more clarification, please email info@sumn.org.

About the Indicator:
The Developmental Assets framework was devised by the Search Institute* to identify skills and behaviors that contribute to positive adolescent development. Survey questions were generated and grouped to compose a series of scales to assess such development. For the 2013 Minnesota Student Survey (MSS), questions were added to facilitate analysis of the following scales: Social Competency, Positive Identity, and Empowerment (please visit SUMN.org for additional fact sheets).
The modified Empowerment Scale comprises 3 subsets of a question included on the Minnesota Student Survey as follows:
In general, how does each of the following statements describe you?
- I feel valued and appreciated by others
- I am included in family tasks and decisions
- I am given useful roles and responsibilities
The response options to these statements were, “Not at all or rarely,” “Somewhat or sometimes,” “Very or often,” and “Extremely or almost always.” These responses were assigned a numerical score of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Students with a total of 9 or more (an average of 3 or higher for the 3 questions) are considered by this scale to possess more, or a higher level of, empowerment.
A new method of analysis was introduced in 2019, to create consistency across agencies. Prior year data has been changed. For more information about the change, or for help in comparing your community's data, please email info@sumn.org.
* Note: The Search Institute's Empowerment Scale uses 6 indicators, rather than the 3 used by the MSS.

About the Indicator:
The Developmental Assets framework was devised by the Search Institute* to identify skills and behaviors that contribute to positive adolescent development. Survey questions were generated and grouped to compose a series of scales to assess such development. For the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS), questions were added to facilitate analysis of the following scales: Social Competency, Positive Identity, and Empowerment (please visit SUMN.org for additional fact sheets).
The Social Competency Scale comprises 8 subsets of a question included on the Minnesota Student Survey, as follows:
In general, how does each of the following statements describe you?
- I say no to things that are dangerous or unhealthy
- I build friendships with other people
- I express my feelings in proper ways
- I plan ahead and make good choices
- I stay away from bad influences
- I resolve conflicts without anyone getting hurt
- I accept people who are different from me
- I am sensitive to the needs and feelings of others
The response options to these statements were, “Not at all or rarely,” “Somewhat or sometimes,” “Very or often,” and “Extremely or almost always.” These responses were assigned a numerical score of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Students with a total score of 24 or more (an average of 3 or higher for the 8 questions) are considered by this scale to have higher levels of social competency.
A new method of analysis was introduced in 2019, to create consistency across agencies. Prior year data has been changed. For more information about the change, or for help in comparing your community's data, please email info@sumn.org.

Survey questions were generated and grouped to compose a series of scales to assess such development. For the Minnesota Student Survey (MSS), questions were added to facilitate analysis of the following scales: Social Competency, Positive Identity, and Empowerment (please visit SUMN.org for additional fact sheets).
The Positive Identity Scale comprises 6 subsets of a question included on the Minnesota Student Survey as follows:
In general, how does each of the following statements describe you?
- I feel in control of my life and future
- I feel good about myself
- I feel good about my future
- I deal with disappointment without getting too upset
- I find ways to deal with the things that are hard in my life
- I am thinking about what my purpose is in life
Modifications to the Search Institute scale were made for 5th graders on the first and last questions on the MSS. They were written as:
- I can shape and influence what happens in my life and future
- I think about what I want to do with my life when I grow up
The response options to these statements were, “Not at all or rarely,” “Somewhat or sometimes,” “Very or often,” and “Extremely or almost always.” These responses were assigned a numerical score of 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Students with a total score of 18 or more (an average of 3 or higher for the 6 questions) are considered by this scale to have a high level of positive identity.

About the Indicator:
Suicidal ideation and suicide attempts are strongly associated with substance use. According to Partnership for Drug-Free Kids, almost one-fourth of suicide victims are legally intoxicated when they die.
According to the 2013 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, 17.2% of 9th graders and 18.2% of 11th graders nationally seriously considered attempting suicide in the past 12 months.
N/A or * indicates that the data are unavailable or were not collected.
According to 2013 MSS data, compared to 8th, 9th, and 11th
graders who reported NO past-year suicidal ideation, those who DID
report suicidal ideation were 2.3 times more likely to report alcohol
use; 2.7 times more likely to report tobacco use; 2.7 times more likely
to report marijuana use; and 4.6 times more likely to report
prescription drug misuse.
For more information on the association between suicidal ideation and substance use, see the 2015 Mental Health and Substance Use SUMN Fact Sheet.

About the Indicator:
In 2016, for the first time, students were asked:
"During the last 12 months, how often have you...
-
hidden gambling/betting from your parents, other family members, or teachers?
-
felt that you might have a problem with gambling/betting?
-
skipped hanging out with friends who do not gamble/bet to hang out with friends who do gamble/bet?"
Response options included Never, Sometimes, Many times, and All of the time. Students who reported Sometimes, Many times, or All of the time for any of the above questions are considered to have engaged in any problematic gambling.
Gambling is associated with increased substance use. In 2016, students who reported gambling monthly or more frequently in the past year were twice as likely to report alcohol use in the past month, compared to students who gambled less frequently or not at all. They were also 2.1 times as likely to report tobacco use, 2.0 times as likely to report marijuana use, and 2.3 times as likely to report prescription drug misuse in the past month. Students reporting problematic gambling were even more likely to report past-month substance use.

About the Indicator:
The Drug and Alcohol Abuse Normative Evaluation System admission form contains 21 substances that a person can be admitted for, as well as an ‘other’ category. This indicator represents the primary substance of abuse that persons were admitted for. An asterisk indicates that the value is between 1 and 5, and is thus suppressed. Persons were excluded if age, race/ethnicity, gender or residence was unknown.
This indicator represents the percentage of each specific demographic group admitted to treatment facilities in Minnesota by primary substance of abuse, out of the overall total of admissions to treatment facilities in Minnesota for that specific demographic group. For example, the number of males under age 18 for a specific race admitted to treatment who reported primary abuse of marijuana were then divided by the total number of males under age 18 for that specific race, who were admitted to treatment for that same year.
In 2011, a higher percentage of people were admitted to Minnesota treatment facilities for alcohol as their primary substance of abuse compared to the national average (50.8% vs. 39.3%). National data are from the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS).

Minnesota Automated Reporting Student System
Description: Included in these computations are students who were enrolled at any time during the school year in grades K-12. Attendance data is generated from the End of Year MARSS database. Rates for each grade, school, or district are based on the portion of time a student was enrolled in that grade, school or district.
Enrollment numbers (n), based on October 1st data submission, are
calculated by adding together grades of K-6 (Primary) and 7-12
(Secondary) based on county location.
The
formula for attendance rate (%) is the Average
Daily Attendance (ADA) divided by the Average Daily Membership (ADM).
The ADA and ADM for each grade, school, or district are added together
and the resulting figures are used for each grade, school, or district
summary. (Grade level ADA/Grade Level ADM) *100 = Attendance Rate for
that grade.
The attendance rate for each county at the specific grade levels are
then calculated by averaging the rates of attendance for that grade in
each individual county.
ADA is normally computed by taking the number of days a student was marked in attendance and dividing by the number of instructional days reported for that grade and school. ADM is normally computed by taking the number of days the student was reported as enrolled and dividing by the number of instructional days reported for that grade and school.
Slight variations in the ADA and ADM computations are made for students whose membership and attendance is reported in terms of hours.
Excluded from the counts are shared-time students, adult students, and students attending in other states or nonpublic schools for care and treatment purposes. (In the MARSS reporting system, these are students with State Aid Categories of 14, 16, 17, 18, 24, 25, 28, 98). Additionally, students enrolled in the Post Secondary
Enrollment Options program (attending college while enrolled in High School) are excluded from the computations.

Minnesota Student Survey (MSS)
Description: The MSS is a confidential and anonymous self-administered survey given to students attending Minnesota public, charter and tribal schools. From 1995 to 2010, the survey was administered to students in 6th, 9th, and 12th grades. New in 2013, the survey was administered to students in 5th, 8th, 9th, and 11th grades. Trend data are now only available for 9th graders, and only for survey questions that did not change. Most schools elect to participate in the survey; in 2013, this included 84% of public schools in Minnesota.
Although the data are not presented here, the survey is also administered to area learning centers, juvenile correction facilities and private schools electing to participate.
Sponsored by: Minnesota Department of Education
Geographic Level: State, Region, and County
Aggregated data at the state and county level do not reveal disparities that may exist within a given geographic area.
Frequency: Data collected and reported every three years
Characteristics: The results of the MSS are also available at a county level. Data Privacy requirements mandate that data is presented in a manner such that no individual student can be identified through the presentation of the results. As part of the Data Privacy practices, the results are also presented in a manner that no individual school district could be identified through the results. Therefore, for counties that have only one school district, the results are not presented. Results are also withheld for counties in which the minimum number for student participation was not met.
The MSS is a “census” of schools, not a sample. The school districts get their own data. Fifth-graders were not asked all substance use questions. Some school districts do not participate, and student participation within the school district can vary widely. These data are self-reported.

Alcohol-attributable fractions: Alcohol-Attributable Disease Impact (ARDI)
Description: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calculate Alcohol-Related Disease Impact (ARDI) estimates of alcohol-related deaths due to alcohol consumption. To do this, ARDI either calculates or uses pre-determined estimates of Alcohol-Attributable Fractions (AAFs)—that is, the proportion of deaths from various causes that are due to alcohol. These AAFs are then multiplied by the number of deaths caused by a specific condition (e.g., liver cancer) to obtain the number of alcohol-attributable deaths.
Sponsored by: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Geographic Level: Nation
Frequency: ARDI estimates were last calculated for 2015-2019
Characteristics: ARDI is based on a large-scale, national study. Alcohol-attributable fractions vary with prevalence of substance use, and are less reliable for smaller populations. Care should be taken when applying alcohol-attributable fractions at the county level.

Characteristics: Detoxification facilities report using a separate system, and therefore information about detox admissions in Minnesota is not available through the DAANES system. The DAANES intake form incorporates a portion of the Federal Client Data Set. The history form incorporates an expanded version of the alcohol and other drug (AOD) use items from the Client Data Set and an arrest summary. The discharge form includes discharge status, referrals, payment source and charges, inpatient days, and outpatient treatment hours. According to Minnesota Statutes, Section 254B.05, subdivision 1, chemical dependency providers must participate in DAANES to be eligible for payment under the Consolidated Chemical Dependency Treatment Fund (CCDTF). Approximately 35 detoxification facilities also report voluntarily on a separate DAANES system

Probation Survey
Description: The probation survey is designed to collect data on Minnesota probationers. The definition of probationer is: “All probationers, regardless of conviction status, who were under the supervision of a probation agent as part of a court order at any time including those ordered to pay restitution, complete community service or monitoring.”
Sponsored by: Minnesota Department of Corrections
Geographic Level: State, County
