For items which were the same for the past three years, the graphs display a composite average of the first two years (09-10) in the blue bar, and the current year in the red bar. If the question was asked for only the past two years, both years are displayed on the graph, bar colors will vary. The tables below the graphs show the longitudinal data from the current and most recent years. The tables do not contain composite averages. For the most accurate interpretation of the data in this report, please refer to both the legend keys in the graphs and the column year titles in the top right hand cells of the tables. 3 Slide 4 Faribault Student Survey Fall 2011: Demographics Responses by Grade 2008-2011 4 Slide 5 Faribault Student Survey Fall 2011: Demographics Gender and Grade 5 Slide 6 Faribault Student Survey Fall 2011: Demographics Ethnicity 6 Slide 7 If you have ever used tobacco, in what grade did you use or start using? 7 Slide 8 If you have ever used tobacco, have you used tobacco in the past 30 days? 8 Slide 9 If you use tobacco, how often do you use tobacco products? 9 Slide 10 If you use tobacco, have you ever tried to quit using tobacco? 10 Slide 11 How much do you think students your age harm themselves (physically or otherwise) if they use tobacco? 11 Slide 12 How many of the students your age in Faribault do you think use tobacco products? 12 Slide 13 What do most students your age think about students your age using tobacco? 13 Slide 14 What do your parents/guardians think about students your age using tobacco? 14 Slide 15 How hard is it for students your age to get tobacco? 15 Slide 16 If you have ever used alcohol, in what grade did you use or start using? 16 Slide 17 If you drink alcohol, how many times did you drink alcohol in the past 30 days? 17 Slide 18 How much do you think students your age harm themselves (physically or otherwise) if they use alcohol? 18 Slide 19 How many of the students your age in Faribault do you think drink alcohol? 19 Slide 20 What do most students your age think about students your age drinking alcohol? 20 Slide 21 What do your parents/guardians think about students your age drinking alcohol? 21 Slide 22 How hard is it for students your age to get alcohol? 22 Slide 23 If you have ever used marijuana, in what grade did you use or start using? 23 Slide 24 If you use marijuana, how many times have you used marijuana in the past 30 days? 24 Slide 25 How much do you think students your age harm themselves (physically or otherwise) if they use marijuana? 25 Slide 26 How many of the students your age in Faribault do you think use marijuana? 26 Slide 27 What do most students your age think about students your age using marijuana? 27 Slide 28 What do your parents/guardians think about students your age using marijuana? 28 Slide 29 How hard is it for students your age to get marijuana? 29 Slide 30 If you use any of the other drugs listed above, how many times have you used them in the past 30 days? 30 Slide 31 How many of the students your age in Faribault do you think use any of the other drugs listed above? 31 Slide 32 What do most students your age think about students your age using any of the other drugs listed above? 32 Slide 33 What do your parents/guardians think about students your age using any of the other drugs listed above? 33 Slide 34 How hard is it for students your age to get any of the other drugs listed above? 34 Slide 35 In the past 30 days, have you used prescription drugs that were not prescribed for you? 35 Slide 36 Where did you get the drugs that were not prescribed for you? 36 Slide 37 How hard is it for students your age to get prescription drugs that were not prescribed for them? 37 Slide 38 Have you heard of the MOST Faribault Students campaign?

(2010-2011 only) 44 Slide 45 Introduction to Trend Graphs: Data Formatting The following graphs show selected examples of four-year change trends. These trends are grade level specific, meaning that while the grade level response set remains constant, the students in that grade change from year to year, as they move on to the next grade. Developing a four year trend with changing sets of students passing through a grade level is quite noteworthy. In this section of the report, be aware of the vertical (y) axis scale to avoid misinterpretations. The upper scale point in this section was set to auto default, as opposed to the main body of the report where the upper scale point was set to 100. 45 Slide 46 Four Year Trend Graph #1: Tobacco Usage - Grade 11 46 Slide 47 Four Year Trend Graph #2: Tobacco Perception of Harm - Grades 9, 11 47 Slide 48 Four Year Trend Graph #3: Student Approval of Student Tobacco Usage - Grade 9 48 Slide 49 Four Year Trend Graph #4: Parent/Guardian Approval of Student Tobacco Usage - Grade 11 49 Slide 50 Four Year Trend Graph #5: Access to Tobacco Products - Grade 6 50 Slide 51 Four Year Trend Graph #6: Tobacco Usage Onset - Grades 8, 9, 11 51 Slide 52 Four Year Trend Graph #7: Alcohol Usage in the Past 30 days - Grade 11 52 Slide 53 Four Year Trend Graph #8: Alcohol Usage Perception of Harm - Grades 6, 8, 11 53 Slide 54 Four Year Trend Graph #9: Student Approval of Alcohol Use by Other Students Grade 11 54 Slide 55 Four Year Trend Graph #10: Parent/Guardian Approval of Student Alcohol Use - Grade 11 55 Slide 56 Four Year Trend Graph #11: Access to Alcohol - Grade 8 56 Slide 57 Four Year Trend Graphs #12: Marijuana Usage - Grade 8 57 Slide 58 Four Year Trend Graph #13: Student Approval of Other Students Using Other Drugs - Grade 9 58 Slide 59 Four Year Trend Graph #14: Parent/Guardian Approval of Students Using Other Drugs - Grade 11 59 Slide 60 Four Year Trend Graph #15: How Hard is it to get Prescription Drugs that were not Prescribed - Grades 8, 9 60 Slide 61 Three Year Trend Graph: Use of Prescription Drugs that were not prescribed during the past 30 Days - Grades 6,9 61 Slide 62 Faribault Community Schools SAMHSA Data trends from the 2008 - 2011 Faribault Student Surveys 62 SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has developed uniform, nation-wide reporting guidelines and formulas. The following displays show the Faribault Student Survey data from 2008 through 2011 in the SAMHSA format. In October 2008, data was collected from Faribault Public School Students only. Since the 2008 data did not represent all of the schools in the Faribault community, this data will no longer be shown in the graphs, but in this report, it will still appear in the tables and first two graphs below. In Fall of 2009, all schools within the Faribault School District boundaries were included in the survey. This practice continued in 2010 and 2011. Grades 6, 8, 9 and 11 participate in the survey.

With four years of data, these indicators would suggest that measurable behavioral changes are occurring. Still, one needs to be aware of the drives and distractions that confront young folks on a constant basis, and how these diversions might affect their responses. This survey does not attempt to measure or account for these. Since this survey measures grade levels and not cohort groups directly, these indicators show that some behaviors are indeed changing for subsequent generations of students as they pass through the grades being tracked by this survey. In addition, as the survey continues to be administered, longitudinal data will be obtainable from cohort groups as they pass through the various grade levels where the survey is being administered. The following bullet points will show some of the more notable changes from the four grade levels measured in 2011 compared with the responses from students in those same grade levels up to three years earlier. In some instances, it may be necessary to consult the data tables in the printed report to validate the trend statements.
